I upgraded to BIAB 2016 UltraPlus PAK + 49 pak from BIAB 2012. I waited all that time for enough new features and realtraks to interest me. Here's my wishlist:

1) Add new mixer features to old fly-out mixer (Cntl-Shift-M) I like the larger size mixer as a separate window to put on a 2nd monitor

2) When you open the fly-out mixer, have the small mixer in the control bar disappear and the control bar shrink to show more of the chord sheet.

3) Update Melodist with new genre categories, some using midi styles, and others using RealTracks. Add new forms besides "no form" and "AABA" (use song form dialog?)

4) Update guitar chord tutor to add option to pin chords around a fixed position like 3rd fret, fifth fret, 9th fret, etc. Right now, chords jump all over the fretboard and I never play guitar like that.

5) Update guitar realtracks to obey 8th note pushes. All the acoustic guitar rhythm tracks I use do not respond to pushes. I have not tested other realtracks for this problem, so I can't comment on them.

6) In new chord sheet gui, I want BIAB to open each time with chord roman numerals above the chords as a 2nd layer. Is there a keyboard shortcut to turn layers on and off?

7) For realtracks, have "select best realtracks" suggestions be more intelligent with timebase (normal time, half time, double time), simpler, direct input, and held chords.

8) Control bar takes up too much space. Have options beside Cntr- T to reduce items that are not needed.

9) Update realtracks that don't work with 2 bar endings in song settings. Some of these tracks keep playing after the end of the song.

10) Fix wishlist items people have been requesting for many years. (too many to list here)
