You might try finding the list in windows explorer, then doing a print screen function and pasting it into MS word. Maybe?

Sure . . . you will need to use the "Song Picker" menu.

If you have not found out already - it is best to put all your songs in one folder and then use the "filter" option in the Song Picker Window to filter on the type of songs you want to use for any one session.

Mine are all under the C:\BB folder. If I want only Real Track type songs I can filter on that. More often, I will use a filter of Genre = "Country" to list all the country type songs. The neat thing is that you can create your own "Genre" for songs you created and filter on just them . . . back to the question . .

If you want a list of All songs then that is the folder you want to be in. If you want a listing of songs that can be generated with a filter than do that first. If, on the ohter hand, you want to "pick and choose" your list - the only way would be to copy those songs to a new folder and then print all the files (songs) in that folder. (( see new posting below for a way to use the CSV method )).

Once you have your "songs list" look in the bottom Left corner of the Style Picker and you will see a Button that says "Print List". There you go - a nice clean listing.

I have not found a way to "Copy and Paste" but to be honest I have not looked all that hard . . there may be a way.

Hope this helps . . . blessings, Bo Baker

Just as a follow up to my other comments on creating a song listing.. . . . . . .

On the same screen discussed above ( Song Picker ) in the middle of the Song Picker window at the bottom is a button called "Export to CSV".

Once you have created your listing (as described in the above posting) you can use this button to create a "Comma Seperated Value" (CSV) file. Once this is saved with a name, it can be imported into any spread sheet type application that can read CSV type files such as Microsoft WORKS or Excell.

There are options in the file menus of these applications that will list "Import CSV file". When you do this your target file will fill in the "cells" of your spreadsheet. From there you can "Cut and Paste" to your heart's content.

So if you wanted to make a "Song List" for an evenings performance the process would be:

Use the BIAB Song Picker to create a list.

Export (or Save )the list as a CSV type file.

Import the CSV file into a spreadsheet application.

Rearrange your list in the spreadsheet with cut and paste tools.

Save and print your song list.

Sounds like a lot but once you have gone through the process it would be created in no time at all.

Hope this is a help to all.

Blessings, Bo
