Yes.

Although there are four Microchords, I cannot click to select to use shift+enter to play.
I think Microchords can be retained.
But let each bar become 4 or 8 squares.
Also, I haven't used Microchords

SBM, your concept is absolutely right, it just needs more divisions, i.e. double the number of possible chord positions.

OK!
Thanks for understanding and recognition. My English is not good. If it is convenient for you to communicate with the BIAB official.

It has been several months. I wonder if BIAB officials have seen it?

Could you work with a single chord track in the Audio Edit window ?
This might be easier for them to implement as you can zoom in to add 1/16 chords and they will display as micro chords in the Chord Sheet and linear chords in the Audio Edit.

thank you. I'm not for audio editing.
I want to make everything easier.
I have written clearly.
To play each chord more conveniently. Use shift+enter
Thank you for your warm help, but you don't understand what I mean.

thanks again!
I have never understood why the official didn't see this post?

This is for Micro Chords 1/16 or 1/4 chords they will all play when you choose:

Here is a shortcut key combination that you can use to play any of the 4 beats in a bar.

Hold down ALT, then press F5, followed by the beat that you want to play (e.g. 2 for the second beat in the bar, followed by w (still holding down Alt)

F5 <beatnum> w

Explanation: ALT+F5 brings up the Chord Options dialog - within this dialog you can switch to any beat in the current bar using ALT+beatnum, and you can Preview a chord by pressing ALT+w.

There isn't currently a simpler shortcut like Shift+Enter to play the chord on the second beat... maybe something like ctrl+shift+enter could be added if there is no conflict with another function.

Thank you for your official reply.
We all hope to add this function.

You have another thread that asks about using Shift+Enter to hear the sound of the chord in beat 2 or beat 4 of a 4/4 measure. I gave you another workaround, very easy to do, in that thread.

You’re welcome. The workaround I posted is easy to use and will help for now, but it’s also good Andrew is aware of the need for a better solution.

I can see this on a linear line of chords such as the audio edit window, but wouldn’t want it on the chordsheet (which is a lead sheet), because there is no timing information to tell you when the chords should be played.

Hi, boss.
I'm hoping to play the second chord by enter+shift.
Please add this feature. Ideally, each bar can input 4 or 8 chords.
Now only 2 chords can be entered per bar, which is inconvenient. Hopefully the next update will allow you to enter 4 or 8 chords per bar.
I'm not talking about microchord function. What I'm saying is that I can just type more chords into each bar, in which case I can also play with enter+shift.

I've never used audio editing in BIAB. Because I have a STUDIO ONE.

I'm sure that was a typo as we all can have 4 chords per bar now.

I would much prefer they forget the microchord function and incorporate that feature into the chord sheet, i.e. adding chords up to the 16th note.

I do all of my editing in Studio One Pro 6.

Agreed totally. The MicroChords concept seems to be unique to BiaB and totally inconsistent with music theory and practice in general.

Regardless of how it works 'under the hood', the exposed user-level interaction should not require two different methods to place chords in the same bar.

Yes, we could also add a preview in the “chord options” and the “MicroChords” dialogs.
Then you could preview any of the 16 chords per bar that can be entered.

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.

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.
