I'm working on a piece in which the head is 14 bars, and I've unfolded to 5 choruses i.e. total 70 bars.
I want a marked change of style at bar 15 - no problem. Except that I also prefer Real Drums, and I get a message when leaving Bar Settings that because Real Drums are enabled, there will be no change of style. If I go back to Midi Drums, there's no problem, but I think the Real Drums would be far preferable for the second style, which holds for bars 15 - 70. The midi drums are 'OK' for the head, if push comes to shove.

Can this circle be squared within a Biab arrangement i.e. without getting into recording/splicing a separate audio track for the drums ?

(I'm in 2008.5, by the way).
