Something I noticed when watching Chantelle's 3/22/22 video on selecting multistyles...

The mixer is at the right edge in expanded mode, but the chord layout screen is reduced in size to show all the bars to the left of the mixer. I've been looking at the preferences screen but can't find any parameter thast allows me to reduce the chord screen when the mixer is expanded, so that I can see all bars. I cannot seem to manually mover the chord screen rightmost margin. Is there something like an "Auto-adjust columns" setting.

What am I missing?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for. If you move the mouse cursor to the LH edge of the mixer (over an existing track), it will allow you to horizontally resize the mixer / chord chart display:

The adjustment Audiotrack showed is recent, in the last two years I think. Do you have BIAB 2022?

Try Ctrl + T. That switches between the classic GUI and the modern GUI

@audioTrack @JimFogle @MattFinley

Thanks for the suggestions, but none solve the issue.

Resizing the Mixer panel is straight forward and it works as documented.

I am using BIAB 2022 (latest build).

Using CNTL-T to switch GUI's does not have any effect on the size of the Chord screen frame.

What I am trying to accomplish is to reduce the width of the Chord frame which would narrow the Chord screen and reduce the widthee of eac bar, also reducing the number of bars per line. Obviously, based on Chantelle's video on multistyles, it can be done. The Mixer panel is on the right side of the sceen AND does not cover the last bar or so of each line on the chord screen. So in Chantelles video, she has 4 bars on each line of the Chord pane;/frame and no bars hidden under the Mixer panel.

I think I added a screen print to show the issue.

I suspect that what you are seeing is the floating mixer:

@AudioTrack

YES, that's it. I kept trying to duplicate your video, but wouldn't work the same. So I checked the Mixer options screen and tried checking/unchecking a couple of the options, and one of the combos worked!! I believe it was to uncheck the "Embedded Mixer Top Right" option.

Thank you for the guidance!!!

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."
