Hello, all!

Can I print just chords and lyrics?

I don't need staves, clefs or notes, just a chord chart with the words. I've tried various ways but I'm not getting what I'm looking for.

TIA!

I like to take the time to construct a formal Gig Song Cheat Sheet. For example;

Hi Noel,

Thanks for your reply!

My dialog box doesn't show a "Regular chord position when no staff lines" check box...?

My print template sheet just shows the clef, time signature, and a page of vertical bar lines with the first chord. No other chords or any lyrics.

(Sorry, I'm not seeing the way to attach screenshots.)

Thanks,
Old Hippie

Hi MusicStudent,

That's not exactly what I'm looking for, but it is helpful. I'll just have to research how to do it.

Thanks,

I can only suspect you have not yet seen what BIAB will give you. If BIAB could do a chord/lyrics printout with the click of a button, that was halfway decent, I would have used it instead of going to all that effort. good luck.

Hmmm...

Getting an error message that my 52.8 KB image is larger than the allowed size of 4.77 MB....?

Anyway, I've got BiaB 2022, Build 927.

TIA

And then it showed up anyway...!

2 things your screen print does not have a regular chord position when no staff lines check box.

Also you have note based lyrics checked.

Dan get a snickers bar your turning into Joe Pesci!

Thanks for your help, Rob. That definitely got me in the ballpark!

I'm not sure about your "screen print does not have a regular chord position when no staff lines check box" comment, but I unchecked "note based lyrics".

Now I just have to tweak the settings. Thanks again.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.

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."
