The last thing you would need to do would be that if your style were a waltz (3:4) style, you would need to change "TimeSig=4" to "TimeSig=3". If, however, you are making a 4:4 style, your style is ready to be used!
TimeSig=3
This would be used if you are making a waltz style. The line can simply be omitted when making 4:4 styles.
In the style picker you can choose a TimeSig then have a look at the drum's text file in the the real drums folders x:\Drums

Again ! -What if I want to use 5/4, 7/8, 9/8 etc etc when making my own Realdrums???
When you went to the style picker and chose list by 9/8 TimeSig then looked at what drums where listed, then opened that drum's text file, what TimeSig=X was in it ?

I will check it once I'm home but why are they making it so complicated ?
Just like Tempo, Time signature is an elementary musical ingredient ???

Only 2 are listed with this Time Signature
CRKWOODS and Exotic1
But there doesn't seem to be any text file that belongs to either one of them ???
Same if I pick another time signature like 12/8 ???
Notes: For TimeSigs higher than 4/4, each bar will be spread out over 2 or more bars (eg. 5/4 will be written as 3/4+2/4). Note2: For 12/8 or 6/8, use 4/4 with a style using a triplet feel (eg. Irish). For 9/8 use a waltz with a triplet feel.
To make it easier to understand set real band to the tempo of the wav/wma file then drag it in and look at the text (template) you see in the text an A fill @ 10 pattern,Fill,A,1,0,1,10 and an A post fill @ 11 pattern,PostFill,A,5,0,8,11
Are you using a template or just making from scratch ? If you use the ready made templates, the ones on the real band site have markers in them to show what goes where http://www.realband.org/files/realdrums_stylemaking_templates_Basic.zip they have midi files also that can be dropped in any daw to give the markers.
For the 3/4 you can start with an existing text template like this:
I haven't even started because I don't know where or how to start !
To make normal Usertracks was a breeze because then you only use the template file with the chord changes. I recorded with my DAW and then just made a folder and put the wav file and the template file in it and it works great.
With Realdrums there is text files involved that adds to the confusion.
And then there is the questions about odd meters.

In the Options.txt of the usertrack drums there is Waltz=false/true you can set but they have still to fix this so it works.
Seems like they left out vital information in these tutorials. They say do this, and do that, but don't actually show you how to do it !
As far as I know I need to make a file (SGU or MGU ??) in RealBand with all the info (intros, fills etc etc) similar to the chord sheet used to making RealTracks and a wav file that correspond to that info and put those 2 files in a folder. (myRealDrums.wav and myRealDrums.SGU )
I would like to know how you make BIAB know where all the fills etc etc are ?
It's probably much easier than it looks on paper ( or text on a computer )
With RealBand it seems easy to set the time signature I want but to fill in (insert) where all the intros and fills etc etc are, is still a mystery.
I made a track up from that user track drum guide and it worked good, but I had to highlight the last 4 bars and regenerate the ending a few times until it filled it in.
You put the part markers where the fills are. Wherever you have an ending, you set it in the Bar settings. They have still to fix the Intros, it would be in the bar setting "2 bar intro starts @ this bar" I left the time sig on default 4/4
To try it just generate up the wav drums with real band for now. I set it to 36 bars and check 2 bar ending. I set bar 37 to blue part marker, after it generated I copied the last 4 bars to bar 17 thus creating a blue ending. I then changed bar 37 to green, highlighted the last 4 bars and regenerated drums, thus giving me a green ending. I set bar settings ending @ 17 & 37. I unchecked 2 bar ending and set bars to 40. I saved with "Drums" in the folder & filename. I chose SGU type and chose the real drum track as the wav.

I have to try this again because I am obviously missing something cause I keep failing to make a user track with drums that actually work. I guess there are very few people if any at all that make their own Realdrums due to the complexity in making them. I appreciates that PG Music has made it possible for the users to make their own RealTracks and RealDrums but there should be much clearer steps to make your own RealDrums and as you say there are things to fix.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
