In the latest update, I found that the right mouse click was just a demo. Now you need to hold shift to enter your favorite chord into bar.

So, should the instructions here be changed?

Hello.

We just tested this out. This is working properly for us. To hear a demo of the chord, press shift+click, but if you just click it, it will add the chord to sheet.

Please make sure you have the latest build for your version. You will find those here: https://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm

It if continues, please let us know.

Thank you!

Catherine, in this case, it might help you to determine what language his BIAB is written for, and whether his keyboard is standard for English. In other words, there might be some keystrokes that do not work correctly in another language. I believe the OP is in a country in Asia.

The instructions appear to be correct. Holding shift will preview (not enter the chord). Is that not what happens for you?

My version is now 1109.

I'm clicking chords right now. I'm just trying chords.
Only when I hold shift will I enter the chord.

That's the way I like it.

I don't like having to type in chords every time I click on the demo.

I actually think the way it's working for him (which is the opposite of what it says) is actually the best way for it to work.
When people are using this progression builder they are searching for chords and so the least keystrokes is to search with just clicks and then when they finally hear the chord that they really want there then they press shift click to enter it.


Studio One (latest version), Win 11 23H2 , i9 -10940X 3.3 GHz, 32GB Mem, a 4K 40" monitor, PreSonus Studio Live III Console as interface/controller. secondarily test on Reaper, Cakewalk, and S1 on Surface Pro 3 Win 10 (latest versions).

yes.
When the user confirms the use of the input, hold down shift and click on the chord to enter the chord. This is consistent with thinking.
