harmonies.
The keystrokes Shift+F10 allow or disable
the Melody harmony.

by a keyword (i.e. typing in the first few
letters of a harmony name) in either the
Harmonies or Favorite Harmonies dialog.
The [T] button is for Thru/Soloist harmony. Either your live part or

the 50 most recently loaded harmonies. Pressing the Shift+F11 keys toggles the Thru harmony on and off.
Toolbars
The main toolbar extends the full width of the screen. (It is divided in two here.)
The [New] button clears the Chordsheet to start a new song. Band-in-a-Box reminds you to save your
work before it erases the chords.
The [Open] button is used to open (load) songs into the program from a standard Windows Open File
dialog.
Use the [Prev.] button to immediately open the previous song in the same folder (in alphabetical order)
without going through the usual file opening process.
Use the [Next] button to instantly open the next song in the same folder (in alphabetical order) without
going through the usual file opening process.
The [Save] button saves the song to disk with the standard Windows Save As dialog.
This saves the song, allowing you to choose or confirm the name and location for the file save.
