Bob, understood, but I think we do need this one, at least while a song might regenerate when we don't expect there was a reason for it to do so. If that underlying behavior is fixed, then no, we won't need this.

I thought the freeze tracks option was the fix for protecting an arrangement. Freeze the tracks then play around all you want or create a second test copy of the song or whatever.
I see the points here but how many more little checkbox options or popups do we need?
Bob There is an expectation not being met. Band-in-a-Box has two play buttons with one being play and the other being generate and play. One expects generation to occur when the generate and play button is played. One does not expect generation, and has no desire for generation to occur, when the play button is played. However, there are times the program decides generation is needed and proceeds to do so no matter which play button is selected. The problem is the program generates without giving the user prior warning which not only doesn't meet the user's expectation but actually creates an extraordinary level of user frustration. Yes, users expect to use the freeze button to protect satisfactory tracks before selecting the generate and play button. There is, and should not be, an expectation to use track freeze buttons to use the play button.

If the Play button does the same as the Generate button (Play Generates if required), then we wouldn't need two buttons. I agree that it's OK to have two buttons, but the individual behavior should be consistent between the two. Re-Generation shouldn't occur if the Play is selected.
However, if it is (unexpectedly) going to occur, give the user an option to back-out and freeze tracks first. Would save a lot of frustration.
