Lead Sheet creation
I have created a number or songs using the big band score template. I want to be able to print out individual parts with the chord changes so that players can ad lib on the chords anywhere within the song.
Band-In-A-Box has a 'lead sheet' format for doing this, but only for the one melody line that you are allowed to enter.
Is there a way to ensure that the chords entered in the Guitar part will also appear in others parts during printout?

Just copy and paste the chord to whatever staves you want them on (eg, right-click one chord, Select / Similar on this staff, Ctrl+C, then select destination and Ctrl+V).
Or if you mean you want to hand out a separate lead sheet, just create that as a separate score and paste into that. Depending on the nature of the piece and how often you expect the player to improvise versus play their written parts, that might be a better answer.

Thanks. That was what I have been doing for each part. I just wondered whether there was some way to automatically have the guitar chords automatically reflected onto every part, just as system text messages or rehearsal marks are. Sigh, .... seems like the manual method must prevail.
