Hi All
I am putting a song together with RS RDMKBM1. This style has 3 guitars going for it, one being a Brent Mason solo all the way through.
I want 2 bars to play a hold but with the Brent Mason solo carrying on through the 2 bars. My problem is that I don't seem to be able to select which of the 3 guitars to play through these bars.
The 2 bars entries are: C...g/ / /C.dg Bar 1 Bar 2
Hope this comes out alright and you can understand it OK
Thanks guys

Just tried various options and it seems I need to use C...p as although it's listed as a guitar it's actually on the piano track. So problem solved.

I tried this and it works OK. Brent Mason is the first "guitar" in the Mixer window and that translates both as C...g or by using F5 to mute unwanted instruments. Sure its confusing but remember that the list in F5 is the same order as the mixer. I put in C...g / / / in Bar 1 and / / /C.dg in Bar 2. Is that what you meant?
BTW - in MY mixer for this Style Brent is in second position. Ian

One of the problems right now with the new feature of all tracks being named but their actual instrument is that for certain features (such as holds, rests, and shots) you still need to know the legacy track names and in which order they appear.
Hopefully that will be changed in a future version, so that tracks are no longer tied to the legacy names (but by providing backwards compatibility to song files already created with those legacy names).

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
