In the piano-roll view, it would be nice if the note lanes were coloured one colour for the chord notes and another colour for the scale notes. Make it a toggle so that those who don't want it can turn it off.

Thanks.

I'm not sure I follow.

Could you elaborate on what identifies the 'chord' notes and the 'scale' notes?

Isn't it so, that chord notes and scale notes are the same.
Stack thirds on thirds for a "Big" chord and you end up with all the scale notes spread out 2 Octaves.

I know of a use case for such a distinction, when relating to a given triade (eg. C E G). For melody there is a technique that has formulars for chord notes vs leading notes and how to use them. For this example C E G would be chord notes and D F A and B would be considered leading notes.

But this is a moving target, as the colouring would change with each Bar.

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes. While the scale notes would likely just be the same for all bars the chord notes would be different for each chord.

Here are 2 Reaper scripts I made, in the midi editor you just set it to show the notes of the snap guide track in the current track.
ReaTrak create midi chords from region chord name (snap guide).zip

ReaTrak create midi scale (snap guide).zip

This will load the chord names from an SGU MGU
ReaTrak Biab SGU MGU.. to regions.zip

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
