I'm using gypsy jazz styles with Realtracks and on a regular basis find that when it gets to the last measure, only the first beat is played (no shots, just a regular measure). There's no 2 bar ending, no 2 measure drum count-in and "Overall loop" in Song Settings is checked. I set the number of choruses to 1. The goal is to get the tune without a count-in to play one time through. I render the audio and then add it to a song in Mobilsheets Pro and set a loop for the entire song so it loops as if I was using a looper. I use a MIDI pedal to start/stop the song so literally, it acts like a looper.
If I have a 32 bar song (once through) I only get 31 bars plus 1 beat. In order to fix the problem, I go to Song Settings>Title Chorus and set the '# Choruses' to '2', then play the last 4 bars or so to be sure the last measure is playing correctly, then go back to Song Settings and set the '# Choruses' to '1' and render the audio. It works.
But, I'm tired of messing with this bug; if it is a bug. The reason I think it's a bug is because the problem does not occur 100% of the time, only about 95%... which isn't saying much.
Anyone else had this problem? Is there a setting to prevent this?

Hi. In my many years of working with BIAB, I have never once investigated the "Title/Chorus" button in Song Settings. It would be worthwhile trying an alternative approach for what you want to achieve.The comparison would be useful. Below is how I would do it. 1) Make sure that the 2-bar count-in and the 2- bar ending is disabled. 2) Press CTRL+T to enter the standard view rather than full-screen view. 3) Set the Start and End bars, and the Number of Choruses as shown in the image below. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=31253&filename=song settings (main screen).jpg) 4) Click on the "Loop" icon and then select "Loop entire song". ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=31254&filename=looping entire song.jpg) Regards, --Noel

Yeah, I'm thinking you don't have your ending or total song length set properly. Add a couple of bars to the ending of the song and see what happens. Noel's top pic shows the set up. But you can always simply click near the end of the song and INSERT BARS. Be sure the number for ending bar in Noels top pic, is equal to, or greater than the total length needed. That should solve the problem.
EDIT: You don't need to use the factory 2 bar ending. You can easily make a custom ending for the song by entering the proper holds or shots in the right place for the song. I'll often use this method rather than the default 2 or 4 bar endings, especially when they don't sound right.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
