I'm also interested in the screen resolution you use (not shown in your specs).

My DAW is 1920 x 1200 (26 inches), I can see the whole picker window, but If I size it down, it does hide content and does not provide a scroll bar to see the hidden content. So lets keep this on the list.

Simply showing the next set of four chords (below the current row) would be an excellent fix. Thanks!

Take a group of eight bars drag and select the bars go black. Play the selection from the first bar. As you do this the 5th bar (!), then the sixth, seventh and finally the eighth go beige. When you get to the fourth bar (which is beige) as it sounds it turns black and this proceeds like this until the first bar is then reached Second time around the same happens The bar that is selected becomes half black and half beige. The bar being played is grey It such a mess to the eyes you have to accustom yourself to ignore it. Its good to have bold visual markers, but they should make sense Win 11 64, Asus Rog Strix z390 mobo, 64 gig RAM, 8700k

It happens when the scroll bar at bottom has been used to navigate to the bar to be edited. After editing, sometimes the song jumps to the end, sometime to the start, sometimes to the adjacent bars. Steps to reproduce: 1: Place a MST in the bass part 2: In Notation Window, select Bass 3: Use the cursor slider arrow (A) to locate a bar in the middle of the song (this is the key point) 4: Edit a note, and select OK or Cancel (B) 5: Song jumps to a completely different bar (Now, what was the other note in the bar that I needed to change???) Dang! What was the bar? To make this more infuriating, I identified and reported this to PGM Support in December 2013, who confirmed and acknowledged the problem existed and said they would report it. A year later, I've purchased the full set of upgrades, and these bugs haven't even been looked at. Why go to all the trouble to identify and report problems, prepare screen captures and identify steps to reproduce? They don't seem to even get attended to. Getting annoyed...

No I don't believe it's in a Tag. It actually doesn't seem to matter what the song length is or if there is a Tag. I just tried the following steps: - Open the program, by default it will have 32 bars with 3 Choruses - Create some notation on one of the tracks (I just chose to create a MST on the Bass, just to get some notes) - Generate the song - In the Notation Editor Window, enable Edit - Scroll the horizontal scroll bar to any bar. - Edit a note (Cancel or OK) - Song now jumps to the Start, sometimes the End, Sometimes somewhere else. It should stay where the user selected.

When the cursor hits the 4th bar,two new bars will show on the left, when the 4th barplays two more bars will fill up the line. Clear as mud, right? Look up "scroll ahead option" in the manual.

Basically I have a chord sequence of eight bars, I want to take it through some cycles, so I copy and paste it, then transpose it. I seem to be able to get to about five copies, but I want 12 in all, one for each key. If I go above about five sets of eight bars, the program just goes poof and dissappears when I press play. Reloading does nothing it simply repeats the problem Z Last edited by ZeroZero; 01/06/15 11:23 AM. Win 11 64, Asus Rog Strix z390 mobo, 64 gig RAM, 8700k

This means that I just can't use any recording functions within BIAB (wich I used to do as a practice routine) Return to factory settings is not solving the problem. Asio4All works flawlessly with any other audio program I have. Really frustrating... Latest BIAB version, latest build.

To fix, just go to ASIO Drivers panel, change quality from Good to Good (essentially do nothing), then the audio quality is OK again (static is gone). Never used to do this...
