Pat,

After the song opens in RB, your at the chord screen which looks exactly like BB screen. To fiddle with chords per "player" you have to launch ACW correct??



nope. You can edit the chords right on the chord sheet that looks like BIABs chord sheet.

The only time you need ACW is when you are importing another song (like maybe a song from a CD that you want to learn)... ACW can help extract the chords when you don't already know them. But with PGMusic products, the songs you create should always have the chords on the chord window.

when I am done in ACW, then there is an option to send to RB. Basically what is your work method,



my work method is to NOT use ACW in this case. That's what's making this more complicated than it has to be.

what is confusing me as I fiddled with ACW, is If I change chords for a guitar part, but don't touch other instruments, will the other instruments still play their original parts??



assuming you changed the chords in the RB chord window, and not the ACW... the answer to your question depends on which generate method you use. If you regenerate the whole song, then all of the tracks will change. But if you highlight part or all of a track then regenerate THAT, it's the only thing that will change. The other tracks should remain as they were

Lastly, should I do my shots and holds and rests in BB and save before opening in Real Band??



I'm not sure which way is best. I would probably try to figure that out by doing it both ways, then deciding which way worked best for me.
