I always wanted to take a look at the bB sutff and finally have some for it. I do game design for a living but have zero programming skills. I installed the Visual bB version and have to say that I am quite impressed with the package. I toyed around with some demo code and had a quick look at the Music and Sound Editor. I have a bunch of questions but will take a look at the documentry first Just one thing: Is there a possiblity to add comments to the notes to keep track of them?

Best,
Marc.

The problem is the notes are just stored as sdata and as far as I can tell data statements don't support linline comments. For example it would be nice to be able to add : rem <note> to each line. I haven't tried it with the latest compiler using semicolon comments, because I can't the sample music file to compile using the latest. Must be a bug...

You could always use semi-colons with data, even in the old bB. It was a bonus feature due to the way bB converts the data lines to assembly.

RT's bB page has a note that it doesn't work with sdata, but I just tried it out with sdata in both the old and beta versions, and it works just fine in both.

Looks like batari must have fixed it some time after Oct 24, 2009:

It works in data statements, but apparently not sdata statements. Strange.

I'll update the bB page.

Every time I launch the Music Editor my VbB crashes. Sound generator works just fine. Perhaps I forgot to install something? I'm using VbV v1.0 build 554.

Thanks!

Did you also download the sound library and place it in the same folder as the executable?
