>>> 1 . Limit the double rows screen ivories to more realistic 10 octaves. (This will release some screen real estate.) Maybe increase to four rows to show each part more separately.
There are 6 instruments that play at once, at non-overlapping areas of the keyboard, that's why there are more than 10 octaves.
IMHO, it could be more useful visually and for editing if the keyboards show actual positions of the notes being played (based on midi note or actual frequency scale). The free VanBasco Karaoke Player had a great Midi Output display for all 16 channels.

>>> 2. Allows the icon & button toolbars to have options for smaller neater / compact sizes and also without titles.
These can all be done via Prefs- Display - Toolbar mode.
True, and BB has well-crafted 24-pixel sized icons. Suggest to add option for smaller 16-pixel icons (BB menu can also benefit from this icon size).
Quote:
>>> 5. Wide displays are becoming the norm, hence gives options put buttons on the left/right instead of top/bottom.
What are you referring to here. What buttons are on top/bottom?
Above image is a mock-up of BB main windows at 800 pixel width on a regular WXGA screen. The extra left area is simply filled with toolbars icons+texts and a portion of the Conductor Window. You can see that the extra space freed-up can be used to endless possibilities and for new features and designs like a modern part selectors/controls.
Currently BB insists to fill the whole screen display upon start-up and after that its various windows cannot be correctly re-size. We can however trick BB to use a smaller display size by adjusting Windows Display Properties before starting BB, and then without closing BB, restore back Windows Display Properties to actual size.
Hence, an easy and quick implementation here is for BB to add an option to set its Windows size manually (eg.XGA 1024x768). Note: The Conductor Window icon text has a typo error "Conduction Window".

>>> 6. Icons color scheme can be more pastel shades instead of the bright basic colours to make it less distracting or kindergarten feel. - I like the colors, but interestede to see what others think.
BB could add files for user-designed icons besides the current Prefs-Colors Selection.

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."
