Here's the situation:

I would like to add the Piano RealTrack 1549 to my style, to replace the Piano RT 1550.
I can do so as long as the tempo in my song is at 130 bpm or less.
As soon as I try to increase it, the RT reverts to 1550.

Looking at those 2 RTs in the list, it shows in the Tempo column,
RT 1549 = 110
RT 1550 = 140

Is there a "maximum" tempo limit for each RT, based on these numbers?
Since I can't go higher than 130 with RT 1549, does that mean you can only use the RTs if you stay within 20 bpm of the specified Tempo?
Help!
Thanks.

There is a setting in preferences which will permit/or not permit the substitution dependent on tempo. Set that to "not substitute" and you will get what you want.

Thanks guys, but I checked my RealTracks Settings window,
and there is already a check mark by "Allow Realtracks substitution based on tempo".
I assume that's what it's suppose to show.
It still won't let me increase the tempo, not even 1 bpm.
It reverts back to RT 1550.

Yikes!

Uncheck "Allow Realtracks substitution based on tempo".

Moultipass's option shows the global setting (this is the one that I use).

If you want to set the option on a song-by-song basis, the setting is found in Song Settings (right-click on the chord sheet to access it).

That's it!
Thanks everyone, I UNchecked both the global and the individual song setting box for "Allow RT substitutions".

Some times it takes a village to explain how to do something in BIAB. grin

If that switch were not there, I might have temporarily renamed the track it wanted to switch to.
