In BiaB 2022 is there a way to display elapsed time in minutes:seconds or just seconds in the chord sheet window?

IMHO the timeline bar is a waste of space. Using that space for elapsed time would be a huge improvement. I know that is just my opinion and many may not agree so maybe an option to choose what you see there would be a compromise. YMMV
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I tend to agree Mario. I never use the timeline, it's too difficult to visually see its operation. Several times I suggested to change the background to lighter colors so that the actual cursor position was more obvious and visually contrasted. But it never happened.

Thank you all for the responses! We can definitely pass this onto the development team as a request for a new feature in future releases. Please do post this and other requests in our Wishlist forum: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm&c=3
I use RB for a lot of the heavy lifting and I find the markers incredibly useful. Much easier than elapsed time to find bits i want to change. have never looked because i wouldn't use it anyway but does BIAB have a similar function? and i agree i never use the timeline - much easier to see where i am on the chord sheet.
Just to make myself clear - which I obviously didn't ! - i never use the timeline in BIAB. For navigating about a song in BIAB I find it easiest to use the chord sheet. as a guitarist the chords are the easiest way for me to see where i am in a song and the part markers distinguish between a and b parts. also - unless it's a really simple song - i rarely use the number of choruses option as i enter songs unfolded so usually blue marks a verse and green marks a chorus.
as for RB the current time is helpful but for editing i use the 'from and to' boxes on the tracks window. clicking on the bar and beat line at the top gives me a precise location to enter. i find the tracks window audio wave form more than adequate for audio edits rather than entering into the audio edit window.
for 'getting around' in a song the RB part markers are ideal. first verse, first chorus, middle eight, solo start..........whatever i need i can see it and 'go to'.
elapsed time would be of no interest to me in BIAB but it seems other people would find it useful.
It's kind of important on the production side of things. I am pretty sure BiaB is handling mS time count in the background, so displaying (in my feeble mind) shouldn't be that hard. But that's just my thoughts.
If enough people want it, maybe they'll unhide it. Biab supports plugins like JamStix and EZDrummer, doesn't it? If so, then it should have the clock it needs already running
/sorry I can't be more definitive, I tested this feature in RB when it was added, and *may be assuming BiaB also does this, but I'm pretty sure I remember it being added to BiaB soon after

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
-Send RealCharts with Audio: If this option is enabled, Enable this option to send RealCharts with audio.
