I believe this is an old bug that I rediscovered and found a workaround for.
Consider a triplet of shots (at a 50% Higher tempo, to get the triplet effect) followed by a return to 4/4 at the normal tempo. You can code it like this:
Measure 1: 3 beats, 220bpm, D..,D.. D..
Measure 2: 4 beats, 140bpm, G..
The problem here is that the G.. will not sound. It seems to be because the last chord from the previous measure is missing. If you have a two beat measure, then the first two beats from the next measure will not sound.
The work-around is to pencil in the missing G.. as the last beat of the first measure, so it reads like this:
Measure 1: 3 beats, 220bpm, D..,D.. D..,G..
Measure 2: 4 beats, 140bpm, G..
The last beat in measure 1 will not play because it is greyed out and is the fourth beat of a three beat measure, but this time the G.. for measure 2 will actually sound. I assume this will also work for those cases where the first two and three beats are missing after a two or single-beat measure, respectively.

John, Similar to you, a few years ago I discovered that if a 'number of beats per bar' setting was reduced for one bar and then the following bar was increased back to normal, it was necessary to occupy the non-playing section of the reduced-count bar with a non-playing chord or else the playback was incorrect. This has now been fixed since BIAB 2018 (if I recall correctly). The above said, when I tried with shots by going from 4/4 to 3/4 and back to 4/4 (as you describe), it worked exactly as you say (i.e. problematic playback). If shots are not involved, the bars play fine without that non-playing chord. I have BIAB 2019 (beta build 615). I will report this to the programmers and reference this thread so that they can read about your problem and its solution. Regards, Noel

Also noted, it's not the first beats that are missing, it's the first chords, assuming the measure begins with a rest.
And just read your reply, it's shots only, agreed. Prolly why I remember it as an old bug I haven't seen for a while. I remember the general case from years back but in those days I did not know the work-around. Should probably check it for held chords as well.
