If I have the default the MS GS Wavetable Synt selected, and "use VSTi/DXi synt" ticked OFF, then he Melody track gets silent 2:nd time around when looping (all the rest of the tracks have sound all the time).
If I tick in "use VSTi/DXi synt" as ON, then the sound comes back o the Melody track and it stays on during looping. (all the rest of the tracks have sound all the time).
Thanks for the info. Just thought I could remove the melody instrument and save as song.
Below is how I created the mgx file.

Rather than doing this, open the grey box and move the melody channel 4 to the Soloist Track and save. This separates and isolates the melody so it can be turned on and off as you build your track and the song can be exported with or without the melody included. This places the melody on its own track and as noted in the screenshot, user also has the option to leave the isolated melody on the BIAB Mixer Melody Track and move all the other channels to the mixer Soloist Track.
Regarding multiple choruses issue: I downloaded and opened the original file and it opens with 1 Chorus as midi files normally do. If the OP changes the default 1 Chorus to multiple choruses or reverts from multiple choruses to 1 chorus, the user is prompted to select to adjust the Melody Track changing to the selected number of choruses or not to change to the change of choruses. .
The choice to either adjust the Melody Track or not to, affects how the multiple choruses play.

Thank you ... this was easy and worked very well !
Mario might be onto something here though - depending on whether the song is set to loop or the chorus is repeated can make a difference. Looping the song should be identical each time around (provided the song hasn't been changed or closed and re-opened with the tracks unfrozen), where multiple choruses intentionally make each playthrough different, which is in part what Noel is talking about.
Can you check which of the loop options Mario mentioned is enabled?
*edit* For some reason the other replies hadn't loaded on my end, so I didn't realize this had been resolved. Glad you're up and running!

Make sure you have the song "Unfolded". The default setting tends to use a 3x repeat with each repeat being rendered slightly differently from the others. It tends to start with the blue markers and the second time around switches to the blue "chorus" markers. This changes the way the players are playing their parts. That is the nature and beauty of BB. The very fact that it doesn't do the same thing over and over is really nice. It can also be frustrating in that it might not give you exactly what you want in a given part of the song.
However, you can move the project to a DAW or even Real Band, where you can copy and paste the parts you like, to exactly where you want them. Slice and dice the song to your heart's desire.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
