Margins
Set margins for the Lead Sheet window, just like the margins in a word processor. This feature has no effect on
printout; the Print dialog has its own margin settings.
Show Chords above each track
When using multiple tracks of Notation, this determines whether each track will show the chord names or not.
Show track names for multi-track notation
If checked, the Band-in-a-Box track names will be inserted at the start of each part in the multitrack notation display.
Harmony display
- [Convert Harmony to track] will add a harmony to an existing Melody.
- [Remove] will remove the harmony from the track.
- Split Harmonies to different tracks enables the splitting of the harmonies to different tracks on the lead sheet.
- Show Harmony Voice allows you to select ALL tracks, which will cause each track to display on a different
track on the Lead Sheet. Or select a specific Voice to display only that voice. For example, if you choose
“Voice 2” and press OK, you'll now see just voice 2 of the harmony.
You can control the volume of the selected harmony voice relative to the other voices in the harmony. The Play
Volume of harmony voice setting can be set to:
- Normal Harmony plays as normal.
- Solo Only the selected voice will play.
- 50% Solo Selected voice is much louder than other voices.
- Quiet Selected Voice is much quieter than other voices.
- Muted Selected Voice is muted.
Staves Per Page
The number of staves shown in the lead sheet can be set by typing in a number or using the [+] and [-] buttons. If
“Auto-Set” is selected, the number of staves will be set automatically, attempting to fit the lead sheet on a single
page.
Font Size
Choose the font size with one of the preset buttons for popular sizes, or type a number between 45% and 300%.
Fake Sheet Mode
The Lead Sheet window has its own Fake Sheet Mode checkbox. When it is NOT selected, the lead sheet will work
as it always has (in linear mode).
