But I don't really care what one calls the notes because regardless of what they call a note it will always sound the same. I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

In theory, you can construct an orchestra of 100 musicians who all speak different languages and put music in front of them. If they all know their theory, they should be able to play it together. They may call the notes, clefs, and everything else by different names, but they play them the same. It's a bit like Chinese writing. The Mandarin and Cantonese words for the characters are entirely different, but they both can read them in their own language and it means the same thing. Or Arabic numbers. We say one, two, three, Italians say uno, due, tre and they both mean 1,2,3 Music works like that. When in Puerto Rico, I played with some Spanish-speaking musicians, and we had no trouble. PS, sorry if this is out of line, I couldn't get the video to play. I've been having trouble with YouTube lately, and it's the only site. (BTW, using Foxfire or Brave).

Cerio Expert C Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,461 Spain	In Spain, as in most European countries, we use Do Re Mi to communicate between musicians, but written modern music uses mostly the A B C system. Actually, one of the first things you have to learn as a music student is the correspondence between the two systems. Many amateur musicians use chordsheets with chords like "Do-" and such, but for a professional musician that simply looks weird. BIAB 2024, latest build.

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.
