Latest version of BIAB 2012, build 349, on Windows 7.
For the ending of a song, I turned off automatically generated ending, and chose "hold chord" (three dots after chord)for the final chord, at the beginning of a measure.
The result--I hear nothing at that measure. IT sounds like the songs ends at the end of the previous measure.
Why is the Hold feature not working?
I probably should add, that the style is all Realtrack, no MIDI. Do holds, shots, etc. not work with RealTracks? (If not, I hope that capability is added soon.
Edit--after writing the above, I found some other forum posts on this topic. Therefore I checked in the settings for the song, and the general settings dialog, and holds with realtracks was enabled in all settings dialogues. I looked in my RealTracks folder, and yes--there is a folder in it called Library. I looked in the Library folder, and yes--there are many holds there.
I looked in Realtracks picker, whether the realtracks I am using have holds, and yes, they do. As they also list the hold #, I looked in the library folder--and yes, the holds for those tracks are present in the library.
Therefore, when I have the last chord of a song (beginning of a measure) set to be a hold, and automatic endings disabled for the song, why do I now not hear anything in that measure?

Is this one long chorus? If so, is the Bar for End of Chorus several measures beyond where you want that last hold?
Or does your song use a Tag? If so, make sure the bar for the end of the tag is several measures beyond where you want that last hold.
Also, I always put a C. (rest all instruments) well beyond the hold.
And, if something that used to work does not, do Opt., Return to Factory Settings.

1 unfold song to one big chorus in edit.
2 make sure that the correct count for the number of bars for the whole song is selected including the hold that you want at end.
3 x... where you want hold to start. g. where you want hold to finish (make sure that all of the above are within the total bar numbers that you have specified for the whole song)
With a bit of luck the midi hold should work now, though I must admit over the last few years not as much need for this workaround.
Edit: I'm pretty certain this above doesn't work for realtrcks midi only

Thanks for all the tips. Good info to know.
I actually found out that in Song Settings, that although I had automatic ending disabled, that fade-out was set to 1. I set that to 0, and then the hold worked.
