Yes, you need to use part markers.

To do that, hover your mouse over the bar number of the bar you want the part marker and left click the mouse. It will turn blue to show that you have a part marker for the 'a' variation. Click again and it will turn green to show that you have a part marker from the 'b' variation ('b' is typically a bit more busy). Click again to remove the part marker.

This doesn't work for me, I have tried several different styles but still no luck.
I have sent a test file to tech support to see what the solution is.

Thanks for your response :-)

Putting a part marker doesn't generate a fill?

Can you provide a screenshot and also tell us what style you used?

Parkgate,

I don't know if you read this, it's from the the other thread where you asked about drum fills, too.

See if these thoughts help....

(1) If the drums are frozen, part markers will not have any effect. It's necessary to unfreeze the drum track and then regenerated.

(2) Once part markers have been added or changed, the track will need generating for the changes to implemented. With BIAB, no changes occur until after regeneration.

Lastly, if neither of the above help, post the name of the drums you have loaded and I'll test them out.

Regards,
Noel

This one took a while to figure out. The fills weren't disabled on the Part Markers, and the Drums track wasn't frozen. Switching RealDrums or Styles, and removing/adding the Part Markers didn't help either.

It turns out "Simple Drums for this song (no fills)" had been checked in the RealDrums Picker.

Thanks

Thanks Kent!

I appreciate your updating the thread.

I don't think I'd ever have stumbled onto that. I've made a note for next time.

Regards,
Noel

To be perfectly honest, I didn't even know the checkbox existed until a few minutes ago smile

Sounds like the kind of place where a non-blocking "toast" popup could helpfully remind the user.

Yeah, BiaB will start to get chatty after a while, popping up lots of warnings, telling you that "simple" chord styles are set and so on. If there are too many warnings, people stop looking at them.

Still, perhaps worth considering?

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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."
