Files and Folders
Band-in-a-Box Folder
The Band-in-a-Box program installs by default to its own Band-in-a-Box folder inside the /Applications folder.
Unless there is an important reason to install it to a different location, we suggest that you accept the default
location.
Band-in-a-Box
The /Band-in-a-Box folder has a clean look with only one program file in the folder (the Band-in-a-Box
application). The rest of the files are in subfolders.
AudioChordWizard
The powerful Audio Chord Wizard feature can be run as a stand-alone program from this folder to interpret the
chords from popular audio file types such as MP4, M4a, AIFF, and CD audio.
Data
These files contain the lists and data for the various Band-in-a-Box features. Most of them are not directly edited,
but user edits to the program features are saved to them. For example, if you add or make new styles and rebuild the
list in the StylePicker the file BBW.LST is updated.
One file that can be edited is pgshort.txt. Follow the directions given to add your own shortcuts for entering chords
in Band-in-a-Box.
Drums
This folder has subfolders containing the files for all of the RealDrums sets installed in your program. It is the
default location recognized by Band-in-a-Box when it installs RealDrums sets and generates a RealDrums part.
If this folder is moved or the RealDrums files are installed in a custom location, the new location must be entered in
the RealDrums Settings dialog so that Band-in-a-Box knows where to find them.
