Thanks Noel and Rachael,
I actually did try moving over to RB instead of BIAB, but it presented a new set of problems that sent me back to BIAB:
1. The same RTs played in RB have a distinctively different sound than when they are played in BIAB. (I assume this is because of the FX and mix that are on them in BIAB. It is definitely not just an issue of track volumes.) I tried to solve this by finding the FX on the RTs in BIAB and copying them to the RB files, but was surprised to find that the FX interfaces between the 2 programs are so different that this task would be very tedious and time consuming. (Anyone found a way to load the RTs into RB with the FX/mix from BIAB??)
2. The files I compose in BIAB with RTs and RDs do not play the same in RB - e.g. I have a BIAB file with RT instruments on the Soloist track changing over 16 bars. When I open this BIAB file with RB, it does not play the instrument changes -just one instrument. (Tech support wasn't sure if RB will play these changes from a BIAB file. Anyone else know?)
So I've definitely hit the wall. Hoping there's a solution 'cause I really like the potential with the RTs and RDs. But in my experience, it's always a bad omen when I run into repeated file corruption and inconsistent results from the same set of commands.
I'll give it a few more hours tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks for your help, folks!

PS I redid the song from scratch a couple times, Rachael - new file, new folder, etc - and it would seem to work, but again, when I reopen the saved files, they're corrupt. And that snare shot plays randomly on the same file - a real puzzler.
PPS A clue?? - got the song playing perfectly in BIAB so I froze the RD track and saved the file. Hit play again, and it played completely different! Is Freeze causing problems??

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
