See if anyone can duplicate this problem I found with RealTrack ~~428:Fiddle, Rhythm Bluegrass EV 130.

It is supposed to do a chop backup on the "A" part of a song and a shuffle on the "B" part of a song according to the description.

I made a typical bluegrass song in the key of G at 130 BPM. "A" part is 16 measures and "B" part is 16 measures. BTW a song with 8 "A" measures and 8 "B" measures also fails in my testing.

When the song has a total of 3 choruses and plays, I get this which is NOT correct. It should not be shuffling on the A Part 2nd Chorus.

1st Chorus
A: - Chops
B: - Shuffle
2nd Chorus
A: - Shuffle
B: - Shuffle
3rd Chorus
A: - Chops
B: - Shuffle
END

When I change the song to 2 choruses I get this which is correct.

1st Chorus
A: - Chops
B: - Shuffle
2nd Chorus
A: - Chops
B: - Shuffle
END

When I change the song to 4 choruses I get this which is NOT correct.
1st Chorus
A: - Chops
B: - Shuffle
2nd Chorus
A: - Shuffle
B: - Shuffle
3rd Chorus
A: - Shuffle
B: - Shuffle
4th Chorus:
A: - Chops
B: - Shuffle
END

Bottom line is the RealTrack is not adhering to the strict A-B change it is supposed to.

Thoughts?

Click the song settings button. You will probably find that the first option "Vary Style in Middle Choruses" is checked. Remove the tick and the "A" part should play on all choruses as required.

This is exactly what I was going to point out as well.

I think it is your problem, and that is indeed the "solve".

Perfect. Thanks all for the quick response. That corrected the problem.

Now that I got that problem solved another one crops up, not really a problem but a "Gee I wish BIAB would do this" problem.

I have over 400 Bluegrass songs I have collected over the years and I really like that RealTrack #428. BUT do I have to go in and manually load each song that I previous made or collected, click on the song settings to tell the program to NOT vary the style in middle chorus and the save each song one at a time or is there a quick way to tell BIAB just not to do it at all for any songs I have have already made?

Is there any way to set the default setting to NO instead of YES?

Under Options, in the Overrides settings, I only see that the Check/Un-check box for "Vary Style in Middle Chorus" only applies as Defaults for New Songs, obviously not existing songs.

Man that is a lot of mouse clicks that I am not looking forward to having to do.

Did you TRY it?

The Prefs -> Overrides is a GLOBAL setting and should apply to all songs loaded.

EDIT: Ah, should have looked first, there is indeed the statement that it "Only applies to New Songs" there.

I don't know of a one-click solution to that particular issue, I think you would have to go in there and resave each song.

BUT -- With the Prefs-> Overrides use, it may streamline things, perhaps all that would be needed is to Open a songfile, let it load and then SAVE again, should include that Override as if it was a new song, I would think.

This has been a "gotcha" from why back in the early days. Just the way it does it. Kind of a right of passage for everyone to stumble upon this one.

That is correct. If I open up an existing song, un-check the Vary Style box, save it and reload it, it corrects the problem for that song.

Thing is, I have close to 700 songs I need to modify one at a time.
