This was fixed by Build #379. Thank you, PG Music, for such quick action.
I'm getting two odd results using the bossa poll-winners style, _JPLMBOS.STY MediumBossa w PollWinners [140RS].
The band is not obeying a chord with an eighth note push on the and of 2, instead playing the chord right on beat 3 as if there is no push.
Also, on my last chord which is supposed to hold, I'm getting a shot on Am11...
Please check these two things on your system. I am using a manual install without all the RealTracks, but I think I have all the ST2, XT2 and Holds loaded. I need to know whether it's the style, or my install. Thanks.

Hi Matt, They're working fine for me (this video shows that http://screencast.com/t/5elSUnzmHFor pushes to work, you need to have the holds installed. They use holds 272 and 274, so you'd need to have folders: C:\bb\RealTracks\Library\Holds\Holds_272 C:\bb\RealTracks\Library\Holds\Holds_274 So you should check that holds work, and if they don't, see if you have those holds folders. If you don't, then your c:\bb\default.sol isn't current, because it is the "soloists file" that points to them.
Have Fun!

Hi Peter,
Same problem as Matt. I upgraded my 2013 Everything version with 2014 pluspak. In my library\holds folder not a trace of Holds_272 and Holds_274. Default.sol dates 12th of June 2013. If this is n't current how do I get it to current state?
Thanks in advance.
Phil

Thanks Phil. So you know, my problem is different from yours. I do have the files Peter listed:
Holds-272 and 274 have dates inside the folders of July 5 and 12 2013 respectively. The folders themselves are dated yesterday, Dec. 11, 2013.
My DEFAULT.SOL file is dated 12/06/2013.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for replying. So I guess my obvious question would then be which executable installs the Holds-272 an 274? Downed realtracks_shots_holds_261-284 again and reinstalled without success. I guess the search continues.

Noticing that I was also missing the files Peter mentioned, I just re-downloaded and re-installed the realtracks_shots_holds_261-284.exe file.
C:\bb\RealTracks\library\Holds folder now contains the following folders:
Holds 1-218, 222-240, 246-270, 273, 275-276, 280-284 (Still no 272 or 274.)
I haven't needed them (yet!) but in the spirit of having Everything...

Thanks Michael, and welcome to the forum.
It looks like a pattern developing, that perhaps there are new versions of Holds 272 and 274 that were not included in version 2014?

Hi Michael,
You described exactly the holds I am having (or am missing for that matter). I just logged a case with support@pgmusic.com
I'll get back when these good people provide me with the answers.
And ... you are so correct, in the spirit of having everything ... didn't Queen write a song about that titled 'I want it all'

Hi Peter. I have almost the same thing going on as Matt. Those two files, 272 and 274 aren't in the new hard drive. Can you post them for download? Thanks, Ray

Same here, Holds_272, Holds_274 missing in action on my pg music usb hard drive.
An Updates page repost seems appropriate.

Holds_219, Holds_220 and Holds_221 are also missing in action here, as well as 241 thru 256 inclusive, and 274.
pgmusic-supplied usb hard drive for bb2014.
No way of knowing whether some of that is intentional or not.

Thank all. I sent an email to Support referencing this thread.
Hang in.
ps the Shots are working in that Bossa PollWinners style, just not the Holds and Pushes.

So Matt, to be clear, for you shots and holds are not working, not just the push on beat 3 issue?
Have Fun!

To be clear, there are 2 holds files 272 and 274 that weren't included yet, and will be included in the next patch. Those are poll winners bossa bass and piano.
There aren't supposed to be holds files for every consecutive number. So the only holds that are missing are 272 and 274.
If you look in the real tracks picker, you see the holds number. So if you see a number that you don't have, please let us know ( assuming it is different from 272 and 274.
Note that with the next patch we are adding some new holds too, and updating the real tracks picker accordingly.
Have Fun!
