But it's absolutely impossible to only have 70 ST2 files; a reinstallation is necessary. I think you accidentally deleted a large portion of the ST2 files, which you can do using drag and drop. You're missing some files, so you just need to put them back. You can verify here, in RT pref : ![[Image jointe]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32132&filename=Sans titre.png)

Great. Try playing one of the 3 styles that include your 3059 guitar. If it works, your setup is OK.

Danna, When you used the 'rebuild' option in Stylepicker, did you use Fast Rebuild or Slow Rebuild? --Noel Tried slow rebuild .... still get errors when loading one of the prior songs tried. But the Realtrack folder the song references is in D:bb\Realtracks not sure why my ST2 count is so low ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32131&filename=slowrebuild.jpg)

Only 70 *.ST2 seems really low to me, did you search thoroughly on ALL disks? Search for the .ST2 files on all disks and copy them into the C:\BB\Soloists folder, that will already help. My Everything software does search all disk .... thanks. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32129&filename=e_realtracks.jpg)

Imagine you bought .SGU files from someone who has a full version and you play them on a PC that doesn't have all the necessary files to run them; you end up with this problem. Makes sense.

For comparison, my \bb\Soloists\ folder has 3,527 .ST2 files.

Danna, When you mention the 2026 Ultrapak, did you purchase the whole Ultrapak or just the upgrade? Also, in relation to .ST2 files, as MoultiPass has mentioned, there should be many more than 70. --Noel

While this may seem to be a long stretch, I would also try a Return To Factory Settings from the options menu. Then recheck the location of the RealTracks & Drums just in case they were reset. Thanks for reply ... will look at rebuild section below by Noel before reset.

Hi, Lee. Still a nifty song, but the vocals are spread TOO much and have lost focus to my ears. I'll usually keep the lead vocals and harmonies tightly focused near center and spread the non-bass instruments and BGVs as a starting point. As Mario sez, YMMV...

Only 70 *.ST2 seems really low to me, did you search thoroughly on ALL disks? Date is normal. Search for the .ST2 files on all disks and copy them into the C:\BB\Soloists folder, that will already help. Then, when you say that these are purchased files, therefore saved on another PC, that could certainly pose a problem. It's a big mess, but you'll get through it. ![[Image jointe]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32128&filename=Sans titre.png)

Love this, Scott. Slinky, bluesy feel (despite your protests), and when that 2nd guitar kicks in it's magical. Nice thematic development, great use of space and you always get the best guitar tones. The BiaB backing track is of course fabulous, too.

The last error message shows C:\bb\Soloists\ ... Do those ST2 files exist there? Did a search and have 70 st2 files .... though not sure why that date shows as I just recently installed 2026 version. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32125&filename=st2files.jpg)

Ils m'ont demandé de désinstaller BIAB et d'effacer tous les fichiers relatifs à BIAB. Ensuite on me donnera la marche à suivre pour installer BIAB2026. Dons je n'ai plus rien. J'avoue que je tremble un peu!

Very cool song, Bob. Love the woody ambience of the backing track and the use of the violin. Haunting theme and strong vocals. Captures exactly my feeling on visiting the battlefield at Gettysburg. Everyone should experience that, at least once. Am getting a chill now thinking about it...

Hey Matt, as much as I know, either the "rehearsal" or the "words" tag, both inside the "direction" tag, is already a standard for song sections. However: I'd mainly put the XMLs into Guitar Pro, currently. And, well, I can follow XML code roughly, but I use Gemini to help me with that.

rayc, Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I really appreciate your advice about Suno. I've heard that Suno has been trained by listening to hundreds of thousands of songs. So I think the occasions of copying my songs by Suno are very low, but I understand there is certainly the risks you taught me. I am always very encouraged by your kind words. Best regards.

Scott, This is a great country song. It's packed with banjo, mandolin, and fiddle - it's fun. I'm sure only Americans could write songs like this. Lately in Japan, the latest American country songs by artists like Beyoncé have been played a lot on radio. Country music is immortal. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Hi Mike, I spent over 5 weeks liaising with PG Music via their chat and via email, giving as much detail as I could about my issue with BIAB 2025 PRO. I was told it would all be passed on to the developers. My 2025 version was replaced by the 2024 version but I still had the same issues. Here is my step by step description of the process: Step 1: I open up the program and click on New Song. I enter in the Chords manually into the blank chord sheet. Step 2: I make sure I choose a style I like. I adjust the tempo, key, etc. Step 3: I play this to hear how it sounds. I t works perfectly to this point. Step 4: I click on the Editable Notation button and enter the melody manually. This all works perfectly as well. Step 5: I give the song its Title and then click Save to save the song in BIAB. All is still perfectly fine. Step 6: I then click on the "L" , the Note Lyrics Edit button, and enter in the lyrics to each of the notes in the song. This all works perfectly well. I save as I go. When I replay it, everything works as it should. The lyrics match the notes of the song as it plays. Step 7: I repeat these 6 steps with a new song. It all works perfectly as it should. I am able to move from one song to the other without a problem. Step 8: I now enter a third new song, and all is fine, until I start moving from one song to the next. This is where I start to find the lyrics are very unstable. Sometimes they are in the right song but totally in the wrong place. Or I'll get the wrong lyrics withe the wrong song when I click on it. Or I'll get a mixture of songs lyrics across the three songs. Step 9: Here I erase all the lyrics of the songs and enter them again. Same issue everytime I do. Same corruption of the lyrics across the songs. Everything else works perfectly; the song plays in the right key, the right style, the right notation is there, but the single note lyrics is all over the place.

Izzy, Izzy, Izzy! Simple song my backside! I always love listening to your songs. You are an A1 songwriter and dare I say your songs have commercial appeal. The way you write lyrics and weave melody, vocals and instruments in and out of the mix, it just always takes the listener on a wonderful journey. And your vocals are always spot on, you have a great singing voice. I'm off for another listen… Bravo Izzy,
