Hi Lloyd
Great table
You could also add the undocumented double-tilde ' ~~ '
From PGM:
"The double Tilde means that the RealTrack being used is a substitute based on the tempo."
The original RealTrack was at say 140, but the song was at 85, so Band-in-a-Box substituted the 85 RealTrack as it will sound better. You can disable this feature in the RealTracks Setting window "Allow Auto-RealTracks substitution based on tempo.
Thanks for taking the time to produce the info
