I came across an old BIAB song which I thought I would spuce up with RTs etc. This came together well with changes to the Melody instruments every eight bars plus related Harmonies and with a very nice RT solo for the middle chorus. I saved the file and opened it in RealBand.and found that no Harmony Tracks were there although the Harmony feature is available in RealBand. Again, the GM Midi Patches for the instrument changes were all out by one number, for example: 55 Synth Voice was changed to 56 Hits. Not a big deal but confusing. The RealChart for the soloist was available.

I then decided to see what would happen with using Drag & Drop. I was never very happy with this function as there seems to be a great deal of unnecessary regeneration taking place. However, the D&D works well although slower than the save file and reopen in RealBand. The Patch Numbers were correct and the Harmony tracks were transferred with the Melody Track.

The use of Shift and Control to specify the D&D of either Audio or Midi tracks seems to have been over-ridden at some stage because you can transfer either according to type just by left click on the instrument. Consequently, I was unable to D&D RealCharts.

In future, I think I will use the save file/reopen in RealBand in preference but use the D&D for Harmony Tracks.
