Well, it makes sense as a convention to me.

What happens in the Soloist generation window stays there and is only for that one generation. Hitting Play button forces a regeneration. Makes sense.

I like the Melody Edit item, "Kill Melody in middle choruses" and also first the "Copy Melody to all choruses" because then I only have to record the head one time and thus place it on all choruses to get it on the last chorus, then kill the middle choruses for the soloing and then I save the song that way. From there one, it doesn't matter about the Soloist muting, so I prefer to work that way.

How does forcing a regeneration make sense when for that regeneration, the melody now starts playing over the solo when the first time it didn't?

Good tip about only entering the melody one time then using the "copy melody to all choruses".

Anyway, here's another one. I used the melody menu>mute melody in middle choruses. Works fine. The tune has 5 choruses, I changed it to 4. The window opens up saying "adjust melody to fit # of choruses?" I said yes, then the other window opens asking the same thing for the soloist. I said yes, play the tune. The soloist keeps playing on the 4th chorus. ???? The soloist window is still set to "no solo on the last chorus". Fwiw, I'm using the tune Oleo with the Monte trio style with the Monte piano midi soloist and the Clarke RD and bebop bass RT. That soloist is really good btw. I should solo that well.
It's easy to ignore this kind of thing because I normally use Real Band anyway and this is not an issue with all the cutting and pasting I like to do. It's very hot and muggy here in So Cal because of the hurricane off Mexico and I'm not going anywhere this weekend. I'm kinda bored and I don't have A/C (usually not needed) and I'm dyin' here. Yeah, I know poor baby.....please bear with with me, the weather is usually almost perfect around here and I'm a bit cranky Where's that beer...
