Hi,
could I please ask you check this for me. Since #825 - or perhaps since I did a RTFS - I started to notice that when I loaded a song, changed the style, played it and then quit BIAB, it no longer prompted me to ask if I wanted to save the changed song.
I don't have any older versions available, and I am under the impression that previously BIAB would prompt me to save the song. It still does it occasionally but not under the most simply scenario when I:
- open song
- change style
- re-generate song
- play - change speed - play
- exit (no prompt)
I also looked for any check boxes that might have gotten reset when I recently did a RTFS but couldn't find anything asking me to 'prompt to save song on exit' or similar.
Thanks for your help. Paul

Hi bloos66
I can confirm the problem.
Seems like the same issue I had in this post:

Unfortunately, it's always been this way.
Changing a Style does not trigger the 'song has changed' flag.
It's been reported many times.

Yes but changing the speed should, shouldn't it VT? I think you overlooked that.

Any change is a change, nothing less. I know this has also been reported to the developers in Beta testing.

I've gone ahead and made a report/request to the developers so they can take a look at it and see what can be done. Thank you!
Cheers,
Ember

My opinion is the same as VideoTrack, that any change to the song should require a save. Otherwise, how do you know what you have when you open a song.

BiaB is different than many programs, in that a lot the time people are just loading demo songs (or other premade songs), changing styles etc. until they find something they like. Ie “just having fun, messing around”. We once had a style change or a tempo change trigger the prompt, and people complained that it was coming up too much. All they did was load a demo song, change the tempo, then a prompt showed up when they tried to load another one. I also found it annoying, and questioned whether anything had changed, and sure enough, I’d increased the song tempo by 5 before I loaded another demo song.
Having said that, we could add an option for this for those who don’t mind the extra prompts, so that these small changes will trigger prompts
Have Fun!

As nearly always with these questions, there’s another perfectly good way to look at it. Thanks Peter for sharing your reasoning.
As a composer, I would set such an option so that if anything at all changed, no matter how small, I want the prompt to save the song. Thanks for considering making this a setting.
