Is there a way to delete or remove a melody or soloist in BIAB after it’s been added? When looking to find an appropriate track for something I added an instrument to the melody and or soloist track, but it seems if I change the band in style picker those instruments change. The issue is sometimes they don’t suit the new style I’ve picked and yes I know I can mute them but I’d rather just remove them.

Hi Tony,

On the very top menu, select "Soloist" and follow the yellow highlighting below to edit and 'kill' what's on the track.



A similar process applies to the Melody track using "Melody" on the very top menu.

Regards,
Noel

Not to worry, Tony. It's well over twenty years for me, and same here. I learn something every day not only by using BIAB, but by attempting to understand and answer the questions of others.

I can't figure out how do delete a soloist in BiaB 2018. There is no option to kill a soloist on the menu

Soloist > Edit Soloist Track > Form > Kill Soloist Part

Just another wrinkle after you think you've got it solved
