Is there any way to search thru your list of songs to find which were created with a certain instrument? Real Tracks and/or MIDI.
Ex: You wrote a song with midi harmonica or a song with real tracks steel drums and you want to find them even tho you forgot which songs were made with these instruments.
BTW I have the very latest version of BIAB for windows. Thanks.
Number of tracks, what patch or sample. What real track instrument numbers. What settings on any live instruments like guitar amp models. What FX are used and what the preset was as well as buss FX and all the details that entails. And so on....
Something I think about all the time but never seem to get done. I kick myself in the butt every time I decide I want to replace a guitar part in a song with something new.....but it needs to have the same tone as the rest of the track which I don't want to try to record again because it is really good and works well.... then I'm faced with the problem of.... what model did I use, and what were the settings I was using? Details that will make the difference between a transparent guitar replacement and one that is obviously not the same as the rest of the track.
I swear I'm going to start keeping notes on each song I record..... starting with the very next one.
Edit: Maybe someone else knows of a way to search the projects quickly. Unfortunately, I do not. My only suggestion is if you know it's a harmonica, look at the original project files for the songs that have harmonica in them.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
BIAB has a "Find" function called "Song Finder" if you click on the lower half of Song Picker. I've never used this function before now. One of its options is to find text in song files but I cannot get it working tonight. Because I'm unfamiliar with this function, I've referred it to the development team to see if it needs fixing.
In the meantime...
I successfully used an unregistered version of "Sublime Text" to find a specific word in a BIAB file. This word is one that is found in BIAB's saved "Memo" information. So if "harmonica" is saved in the memo of an old song, you should be able to find it.
If you download Sublime Text, follow the numbers on the image below to find the word you want.
Also... if you are curious about how to see the memo contents of a SGU or MGU file... when I opened the file in LibreOffice's Calc (which is equivalent to Excel), and selected a UTF-8 character set, the memo text was visible.

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.

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."
