Change of Key Signature at any Bar.
Previous versions of Band-in-a-Box displayed one key signature for a song. Now you can have multiple keys in
the same song with the new key signature shown on notation.
To change key signatures, press F5 and then select the key signature change that you want. When you do that,
you will see the new key signature drawn on the notation at that bar.
The GUI has been enhanced.
There is support for Windows “Themes.” Band-in-a-Box will use the current theme that you have selected in
the Windows Control Panel to use for Windows and dialogs.
Technical note: The file c:\bb\bbw.exe.manifest controls the support of themes. If you want to remove theme support, you would rename this file.
Copying of sections or selections can be done using drag-and-drop, simply drag regions around the chord sheet
to quickly rearrange your song. Hold down the control key for finer control about insert/overwrite etc.
For example, if you have an 8-bar section at bar 9:
To copy it to bar 23, and insert the 8 bars at that location drag the bar # and drop it at bar 23.
<Ctrl> To copy it to bar 23, and OVERWRITE the 8 bars at that location hold down the Ctrl key, and
drag the bar # and drop it at bar 23. In the dialog that appears, just press OK.
Section Paragraphs.
When you’re reading a book, a new section begins on a new line, with space between. Now we’ve done that for
chords too. Whenever a new section occurs (a part marker), we start the new section on a new line, and draw a
grey line above to clearly mark the new section. For example, if you have a song with a 7-bar section, followed
