Configuration Files
Band-in-a-Box stores its preferences files in the main Band-in-a-Box folder.
These are the configuration files for the OS X version. The names in brackets
are the names of the same files under OS9. It is possible to run the Band-in-a-
Box OS 9 version from the same folder as the OS X version, so the
configuration file names are slightly different. These configuration files have
different names in OS X than previous version of Band-in-a-Box.
• Intrface_OS X.BBW (OS9 name was Intrface.BBW) This file stores
the many Band-in-a-Box program preferences
• Band-in-a-Box Preferences_OS X (OS9 name was Band-in-a-Box
Preferences) This file stores the name and information of the currently
selected MIDI Driver (e.g. QuickTime or CoreMIDI)
• BBM.LST (in OS9 was BBW.LST). This text file stores the styles list
for the StylePicker.
• Default_OS X.SOL (OS9 name was Default.SOL) This stores the
Soloist names.
These configuration files have the same names in OS X as they did in previous
versions of Band-in-a-Box
• Default.HAR, Default.GIT, Default.MEL (same names in OS9).
These store the Harmony, Guitar and Melodist names.
• MySetup.DK (Same name in OS9) This file stores the drum kit, patch
map information.
• DefaultM.Ali (Same name in OS9). This file stores the names of style
aliases used.
If you want to reset Band-in-a-Box to default settings, you can erase the 3 files
Intrface_OS X.BBW, Band-in-a-Box Preferences_OS X, and MySetup.DK.
It is easy to find these files, from the Finder, sort by date and they will likely be
the most recently written files to the Band-in-a-Box folder.
About Hot Key Names on the Menus
When hotkeys are listed on the menus, we now use the OS X-recommended
symbols. For example, the picture shown here is from the Finder menu.
