If I do it with any combination of Bar Settings or Substyle Define, it changes the drums but the other tracks go silent. All tracks are unfrozen and have been re-generated multiple times. Later at Bar 65 I change it back with Bar Settings and the other tracks come back on.

All tracks in both styles are real tracks; and the issue isn't the guitar track, per se. The drums change but piano and bass disappear along with the guitar. The help says you can't use a real track and a midi track on the same track (not sure why that is so) but that isn't what I'm doing. As for trying different styles, that's unacceptable. Apart from the prohibition of combining of real and midi, why would one combination of real tracks work and not another? Are there any other restrictions on changing styles mid-song?

If one attempts to remove the real track, to avoid a potential conflict between real track and midi, one gets the message "The style itself contains real Tracks".

I have nowhere to do post the song, and I'd rather not exchange e-mails.
