HAS ANY UK MEMBER USING WINDOWS 7 10 OR 11 MANAGED TO USE THIS METHOD. I CAN ONLY ENTER RESTS BY CLICKING ON REST BUTTON WHICH CAN LEAD TO MISTAKES DRAGGING THE CURSOR BACK AND FORWARD TO REST BUTTON WHEN ENTERING A MELODY

On page 225 it does talk about what having a ~ means when it is shown in front of a RealTrack name in the Mixer. https://nn.pgmusic.com/pgfiles/support/misc/manual/bandinabox_win_2019_manual.pdf You can enter in a rest by typing any chord name and then type a period after it: "C." Best, Chantelle

If you are in Editable Notation Mode, you use the left-click of a mouse to enter a note. But if you hold down the tilde and left-click BELOW or ABOVE a note, it erases the note. It's a great time saver. It doesn't 'enter' a rest, but it converts a note to a rest. Is that what you mean? ps in BIAB for Windows version 2022, this is on page 192: Entering Rests Insert a rest by holding the back-quote key (tilde key without pressing Shift) then clicking on the Notation window. Another way to enter a rest is to click on the Rest checkbox and then point and click where you want the rest to appear. This automatically shortens the duration of the previous note. And I think the confusion in this description (insert or enter a rest) might be because you would not enter a rest when there was already a rest. Having said all this, I will admit that this method using the tilde can stop working under some circumstances. I try not to mix this method with clicking on the Rest checkbox. Likewise, clicking on Mono sometimes helps. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.
