Gary -

The only workaround I can think of is to generate the parts and then take the string track you want to change octave and instrument, and copy it to either the melody or soloist track. This, of course, means the file will be saved as an .MGU, not .SGU.

Then, edit the melody (or soloist track, whichever one you selected) and delete all the notes for the choruses that should be played by (and regenerated by) the instrument defined in the style. What you should have left are the notes for the chorus you want played by trumpet. Go ahead and transpose that up an octave. Set that track to the trumpet patch.

Then, using the F5 key at the start of the chorus, select the chorus number you want to have the trumpet (on the melody track) play and tell BIAB to mute the Strings track for that chorus. Then tell it to go back to normal for the next chorus.

You trumpet part will remain static and won't be regenerated, but the strings track will be regenerated for the other choruses and won't play at all during the trumpet chorus (because the melody track will be playing instead).

Just an idea.
