I checked \bb\data\logs - but nothing of interest to this issue. I can start Biab again - and continue working since I use "print preview" again. Any idea, what I can do? Thanks + Regards Rainer Last edited by black_bottom; 07/31/23 07:46 AM.

Are you saying by “continue working” that Print Preview then works? And yes, please tell us what printer drivers you have installed, and which is selected in BIAB. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

Before I press "print perview" I extent "End of my song" (in bars) from 98 to 120 (in this issue) and save the song. After this I reduce back to 98 bars and don't save the song. Then I press "printer preview" and .... it works properly ! When I save the song again (with 98 bars), quit BiaB, start it again and press "printer preview" - BiaB ends without any message, hint like described above. Weired ... is there anybody here from PGMusic to investigate this issue, I think thats an issue. Thanks.

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.
