I have right-clicked the bar maker and unchecked the option "Allow drum fill for bar before this part marker" BUT STILL I'm getting drum fills at the part marker changes from substyle A to B, and from substyle B back to A.
So I edited the style (both A and B substyles) to make the fills a copy of the regular part of the style, and set the pattern weight to 9. This made the "fill" sound just like the main substyle, BUT there's still an added cymbal crash at the transition from substyle B back to A, no matter what I do.
So I'm still getting fills at style changes even though I've specifically disabled them at the transition bars (and those around it too!)
OK, thanks. I haven't used this function since it was first introduced, and it worked for me in testing, but there have been many changes to the program since (and I'm using 2017).
Still, can we try to replicate this? I assume we're talking about RealDrums, not MIDI. Can you tell us which RealDrum? Even better, post your song. One way some of us do this is open a free Dropbox account, upload the song to the public area, and post the link here.

Switching to RealDrums does not fix the problem. Unchecking "Allow drum fills for bars before this part marker" does not eliminate drum fills, whether I use RealDrums or MIDI drums.
If I wanted to remove all drum fills for the entire song, then Pipeline's suggestion (above) works.
Try one more thing please. Do a Return to Factory Settings and test again. You will first have an opportunity to save any custom settings you have made.

This feature don't work for MIDI Drums ! I have written a post in the wishlist a long time ago with no effect up to now. That is a real shame because it is a very handy, useful and musical feature and we can't get it !
I'm glad to see that new BIAB users have legitimate questions about so useful features. MIDI is still used by many users and we need to get new features for MIDI.
If you have to use midi drums, -open the piano roll -select D -select the note on the keyboard, this will select all opening hi-hat post fill notes in red -now hit delete
you can also copy/paste/delete others manually then freeze.
That's disappointing, but not surprising. I suspect all the resources go to the latest version of the program. They have to fix the old bugs and write in some new ones! Job security! (Just kidding... even with its faults BIAB pretty much rocks, once you climb the really steep learning curve.)

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
