Hi Dave,

You can add your request to the Band in a Box Wishlist Forum, where quite a few requests get honored in future releases of the program.

In the meantime, don't overlook the tip given above about using RealBand program, which ships with Bnand in a Box. In Realband it is possible to highlight bars and have the program only regenerate the highlighted bars. This is opposite the idea of freezing the bars you want to keep, instead highlighting and regenerating the bars that you don't want to keep, but the end result is much the same. And, if you don't like what the regeneration sounds like, you can try regenerating that are again and see if the autoaccompaniment patterns and algorithms don't come up with something you can use.

Also, don't overlook simple Muting by the Bar inside Band in a Box, sometimes using the Bar Settings to simply Mute highlighted number of bars can do the trick as well, the equivalent of telling a live player to "sit out" during a certain part or section. Muting over a few bars or even a whole section is often performed in studios during the Mixdown phase in order to solve various problems. Every member of the group does not have to play at all times to get a point across. There are many instances when less can be more.
