The generate button that is next to Song Settings (2nd line, near the middle of the screen). Is very trigger-happy. It often takes off and regens all the original tracks when I'm trying to select a specific instrument for one track.

Does it often take off by itself, or because you inadvertently click on it? I don't really understand how it gets triggered by selecting a specific instrument for one track.

I think because it's the first item on the menu it would be easy to click by accident as you are clicking to open the menu - the earlier version had a Generate button and a BB (Generate All BB Tracks) right beside it and sure enough I was always hitting the darn thing.

You can edit and customize the menu order and move it down the bottom if you are enthusiastic with http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
create a backup of RealBand.exe
then open it and go to
RC Data > TMAINFORM


end
object Generate1: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Generate'
OnClick = Generate1Click
object MenuGenerateEntireSong1: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Generate All BB Tracks (Entire Song)'
OnClick = GenerateAllButtonClick
end

object GenerateAllBBTracks1: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Generate BB (Selected Region) (Selected Tracks)'
OnClick = GenerateAllBBTracksClick
end
object N51: TMenuItem
Caption = '-'
end
object SelectandGenerateRealTrack11: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Select and Generate a RealTrack...'
OnClick = SelectandGenerateRealTrack1Click
end
object GenerateFavoriteRealTrack1: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Generate RealTrack (Favorites)'
object RTFF1: TMenuItem
OnClick = RTF1Click

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

end
object FreezeTrack: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Freeze Track from Generation'
OnClick = FreezeTrackClick
end
object MenuRegenerateTrack1: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Regenerate Track:'
OnClick = MenuRegenerateTrackClick
end
object MenuRegenerateAll1: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Regenerate All'
OnClick = MenuRegenerateAllClick
end
object MenuGenerateEntireSong1: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Generate All BB Tracks (Entire Song)'
OnClick = GenerateAllButtonClick
end

end



If you use ctrl+a ctrl+c on the right side of resource editor it will select the whole script then you can paste it in a text editor do a ctrl+v then ctrl+f to search for "Generate All BB" edit the menu script then ctrl+a ctrl+c back to resource editor ctrl+v once you have changed the script go to Action > Compile > Save As RealBand Menu.exe
then try it out.
I use it to customize the right click menu and bring the ones to the top I use most like Cut Copy Paste and the sub menus "Audio Effects" & "Track".

Hope this helps.
