Chapter 7: Notation and Printing 104

Printing

Lead Sheet Style Printing

Your created songs can be printed out in the style of a lead sheet style. Most

songs will fit on 1 page, so your printout will look similar to a standard lead

sheet. You can easily make and printout a custom fake book of all of your

tunes, and you can easily transpose parts to print out for trumpet /sax players etc.

The printout includes title, bar #s, composer, style, and copyright information.

Prints using a scaleable True Type font and supports all MAC compatible

printers.

A lead sheet usually contains the chords, melody, and lyrics of a song, on a

single page if possible. We have kept the concept of Band-in-a-Box using 4

bars per line on the printout since Pop music is usually in 4 bar phrases. This

aligns these phrases on the beginning of a new line.

In addition to a lead sheet style printout, you can also print out any part of Band-

in-a-Box, such as the Piano part, or Guitar part, to practice your sight reading, or

to learn the parts if you are learning to play that instrument.

Printing a song is done by pressing the Print button. This launches the

Print Options dialog box that lets you view the current settings, and

then press the [OK – Print] button.

Print out any combination of Chords, Notes, Lyrics, (or blank paper)!

You'll need to choose what to print out (notes /chords / lyrics / bar numbers),

and what clefs to include (treble / bass). You can print out the first chorus, last

chorus or the whole song. Margins are available, so you can make a left margin

to produce a printout to go into a 3-hole binder for example.

Auto-Fit onto 1 page

Band-in-a-Box will set the # staves per page for you. This will be set when you

enter the Print Dialog box, or change the range that you want to print (first /last

chorus or whole song). This will be done to try to fit your printing onto 1 page.

If you're printing the whole song, it is unlikely that it will fit onto 1 page, so

Band-in-a-Box will set to the default 10 staves per page. You can over-ride this

setting by typing in the # staves per page that you would like.

Note: Remember that the title on page 1 takes up 1 stave, so if you choose 10

staves, you will get the title + 9 staves on page 1, and 10 staves on page 2.
