Blake - PG Music PG Music Staff Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 791 British Columbia, Canada	Originally Posted By: foxylady I puzzled when you say 2012 didn't have the Lead Sheet feature, as I've been creating and exchanging BIAB leadsheets since 2007. Perhaps you are talking about the Windows versions? Band-in-a-Box 2012 for Macintosh did not had the Lead Sheet window yet, although it did have the Print Options window that contains the field for typing in the tempo. I cannot reproduce the bug by saving a song in the 2012 Mac version, and then opening it in the 2017 Mac version. However I can reproduce the bug if the song was saved in the 2017 Windows version. Both of your example songs were saved in Windows versions of Band-in-a-Box: Two Sleepy People - was last saved in build 466 (Windows) Manhatten - was last saved in build 357 (Windows) In Manhatten, I noticed that there is the same bug with the Style field in Print Options (the first character is missing). Since these files open fine in the Windows version, that means the data was not lost while saving, so this should be fixable in the Mac version. Blake PG Music Inc.
