Yes, I know what you mean. I never go below that first line of all patches; if you go into Piano or others below, you are constrained by what someone thought were the piano patches, which is a mess as we've pointed out. I didn't see how to fix that easily (and I'm a programmer) so I ignored it.

A limit of 1000 lines in a BIAB .PAT file? That is news to me. I'll check the length of mine. Not only do I have all the patches for the Roland Fantom XR, but many that I like are doubled and grouped at the top, and then I have five add-on modules each with one or two hundred patches of their own. I never ran into a problem.

[EDIT: one of my patch files with 'everything' appears to be just over 1,400 lines long.]
