We do need a clearer/more prominent marker for chorus place when on live gigs - 1/5 - 2/5 etc. The old one was ok but could have been improved An instant look and visible marker on the screen when playing live is essential Panicked a couple of times already with other things going on jazzman

Would any of this work if you have 'one big chorus'
My songs are all done that way using 'repeats and endings'
Progress is just a bar number. Displaying in fake sheet mode shows me where I am but not which verse. On the other hand if you are working with real people, no one holds up a progress bar either.
Part of being a musician is to know where you are and where you go next. No GPS available

Great suggestions for improvements to the progress bar everyone!
To summarize: 1. Larger progress bar (option of floating, re-sizable window) 2. Visual chorus indicator (ie 1/3, 2/3, 3/3) 3. Better colour contrast for chorus and part markers 4. Allow bar numbers and part markers to be switched on/off or significantly faded so song position can have better contrast. 5. A solid (somewhat translucent) bar that grows from left to right as song plays
If you have any further feedback, please keep it coming!

Really nice summary Alyssa!
I appreciate reading the responses you, Callie, Andrew and the other PG Music associates post.
Hi everybody, I was very doubtful updating BiaB, but ... what a ( good) surprise when I saw the slash between the first and second number of the countdown square. Finally we're back to the old days because we needed this. We can now (re)see where we are in the song and the question is why did that feature disappeared ? Who decided of this, surely not a musician (I hope) but some "designer" who made his "ideas" prevail in some obscure reunion where musician were not. Please survey your awsome product ( I use it since the Atari era !) to keep it in the ears of musicians users and not in the eyes of merchants for whom only good looking is the principal... We musicians are your real customers. Thanks for the update and if you could make the little field of the countdown wider ... maybe gaining place in the unused place of the "bar" ? Thanks again to make it .
As one who plays live, many thanks to PG Music for returning to the old way of showing the number of choruses for a song. Now, maybe make it a little larger, or color it, to see it better in dim light. It would be fine with me if the present progress bar were removed, allowing a little more space for the chord sheet.
I would like to re-emphasize that the functionality of the timeline / song progress bar could be significantly improved if the contrasts were more identifiable. As per many supported votes above.

to pg. i would just like a clock that shows both no of bars elapsed , and real time elapsed and total time of song. preferably unobtrusive eg bottom of chords view.
best om
my songs....mixed for good earbuds...(fyi..my vocs on all songs..) https://soundcloud.com/alfsongs (90 songs created useing bb/rb.)
In that space, perhaps we could choose to have either the colored progress bar enhancement of the existing display as shown just above in AudioTrack’s post, or a clock function. I’m used to seeing a clock but there are many options:
Total elapsed time played Remaining time of the song NOW time, in minutes and seconds
Combinations are of course possible but maybe not in the small space of the existing progress bar.
As always, though, I would wish for a separate window that could be resized and dragged where I want to see it.
