Hello, everyone. I am brand new to BIAB, and would like to print out a song arrangement’s labels, like intro, verse, chorus, etc. I can print out the chords, but all the parts are continuous. I just discovered the song form dialogue box and am exploring it, but can anyone point me in the right direction?
Probably best if you select one of the demos. That way, we can select the same one and see exactly what you are seeing.
Please also indicate your MacOS and BIAB version. You'll see that the regulars have edited our Signatures to display this info with every post to eliminate guesswork.
You can also add screen shots to your post when necessary by being in full screen mode and clicking on File Manager below.
When you click on Print, a screen should show up showing the Options. Here is a sample:
BIAB 2023 Audiophile, 24/60 Core M2 Mac Studio Ultra/8TB/192GB Sonoma, M1 MBAir, 2012 MBP Digital Performer 11, LogicPro Finale27.4, Dorico5, Encore5, SmartScorePro64, Notion6, Overture5
Hello, again, I am using a Mac M1 mini, with Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68). BIAB is Band-in-a-Box® for Macintosh Version 2022 (609) 64 bit application - Rosetta mode.
This is what I am looking for.
I have tried the various options in the print dialog box, but still haven't come across something similar. BIAB does so much that trying to get a handle on things can take a while, and I haven't found a particular video tutorial that addresses this particular need.
I will also update my signature with the information.
I don't think you'll be able to get exactly what you want, however you can get close
- For the labels, use Section Text. In the notation window, click the [T] button in the notation window toolbar. Choose -40 (or around there) for the position - this will place the text above the clef. Also, set the bar number and whether you want the label boxed or not.
- If you have some lines that don't have 4 bars you can get it to start a new line. In the chord sheet window, click on the bar that starts a new line and press F5 (bar settings). Then check "Notation start a new line" checkbox. (However, note that each line of notation on the printout is always the same width, so BIAB will expand some bars as necessary)
- In the Print Options dialog, in the "Include" area, uncheck everything except for Chords Treble clef (or autoset clefs). You can preview by clicking Print, and the selecting PDF --> Open in Preview.

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.
