Chapter 7: Notation and Printing 106
Print Range (First Chorus / Last Chorus / Whole Song). You can either print
the First Chorus, Last Chorus, or the Whole Song. When you change this
setting, Band-in-a-Box will reset to auto-fit the printout to one page if possible.
Normally, you'll want to print the first chorus of the song.
You'll want to print the last chorus in a song that has a tag ending, or a song that
you want to see the 2 bar ending printed.
The whole song could be printed if you've played differently for each chorus.
Use the Edit | Unfold (Convert to 1 big chorus) option to make each chorus
different.
Include Lead In Bar. If your song has a lead-in (pickup) to bar 1, then make
sure you've checked the lead-in. Actually, Band-in-a-Box has set this for you by
determining if there are any notes in the lead-in measure. You can over-ride this
automatic setting, if necessary.
Staves per page. This determines how many staves will be shown per page.
The title takes up 1 stave on page 1, so that if you set the # staves to =10, you
will get 9 staves + the title on page 1 and 10 staves on page 2, 3 etc.
Title / Style / Composer / Tempo / Copyright
The title is written in a big font that is underlined
and centered.
LIKE THIS
There are [a] and [A] buttons at the right side of the Title field. These change
the case of the title. ([A]= UPPER CASE, [a] = Lower Case).
If the title is long (or you're using big margins), then the font size will be
reduced, and the font won't be underlined for the title. Titles are limited to 60
characters.
The name of the Style that is saved with the song is automatically entered.
Click on the [T] button to insert the current Band-in-a-Box tempo, or type a
tempo into the Tempo field yourself.
The other fields are for Composer, Copyright information. You can get the ©
symbol by pressing the [©] button.
Left Margin / Right Margin. The left and right page margins are set in inches.
For example, you could set the margin to 1.25 inches.
Music Font Size
You can choose any size font you want for lead sheet printout. To change the
font size for printout, insert the font point size you would like in the “Music
Font Size” box. The larger the number, the bigger the font. The default is 24.
Setup
This launches the setup dialog box for your printer.
