Under the current technology, we cannot make a medley of putting together a different style and genre in one song in BB and RB (i.e. combining a jazz 4/4 and a country waltz 3/4 styles). Can we expect some future versions to have this feature or it will never happen? Thanks.
I actually think that can be done. Select F5 in the middle of a song and Change the style and Tempo. I have done this with some limited success - it is tricky since it still has to be musical!
If your first measure is in 3/4 time and your style is in 3/4 time you can get a 3/4 count in.
Are you sure that came out right, Mario? If the first measure is in 3/4 and the style is in 3/4, you don't have to do anything at all to get the correct count-in. Was one of those supposed to be 4/4? What about if there is a 4/4 song later? Is my advice above no longer correct? Thanks.

It used to be, if I remembered correctly, that all styles had to start with 4/4 time. Am I wrong on that?
My bad Matt, you are right. If you start in 3/4 time and later in the song change to 4/4/ time you stay in 3/4/ time though out the song. This is another of the time signature things that needs to be changed.
I apologize to all for the confusion.

My work around for this problem would be as follows: 1-have no count in 2-in the first measure only have the drums play, this would be in 4/4 3-second measure change to 3/4 time, pick a 3/4 style and only have the drums play for 2-4 measures - this would be your 3/4 count in. 4-go to the measure you want 4/4/ time and F5 to change your settings Note that you can go back and forth in time signatures many times - I just did it for 4 times. 5-either move the song to your DAW or record your part in BiaB 6-in your DAW you can eliminate the count in(s) 7-in BiaB bounce the song to a wav/MP3 and delete the measure(s) there with a wav editor - there are some good free ones like Audacity.
Just my two cents plus I'm trying to redeem myself!

I haven't come across this situation too often, but I recall using this method:
I mute the count-in. Then I create two blank measures at the beginning. The first is the required 4/4 measure, with all instruments muted. The second is a bar of 3/4 in which I mute all but the drums. I let the drums play for one, two or three beats as appropriate in the style and song, as a pick-up substituting for the missing count-in.

Matt, your idea is probably the best workaround. I believe that the problem is compounded because the Count-In is a Global setting, not Local to any particular song. So you cannot turn the Count-In 'off' just for one song.
I think I put that in the wish-list a couple of years ago, but I don't believe it has been implemented.
