Have you download the November 2016 RealTracks update? From the ++ Windows Support Page ++ This patch includes RealTracks updates completed during 2016, prior to the release of Band-in-a-Box 2017. If you purchased the Band-in-a-Box 2017 Everything/Ultra/audiophile, you don't need this patch as the fixes are included. A summary of the fixes and improvements is listed below.
Some audio files are updated in this patch, so users with the audiophile HD version can instead download this larger patch (700 MB)
Fixed: Some incorrect Shots assignments.
Fixed: Timing issues with "Banjo, Tenor, Rhythm DixielandFastA-B Sw 165" have been fixed, meaning the playing should fit much better with the other Dixieland RealTracks.

Yep but note if you bought BIAB 2017 (Everything/Ultra/audiophile) you don't need this update and I quote from PG update area:
"This patch includes RealTracks updates completed during 2016, prior to the release of Band-in-a-Box 2017. If you purchased the Band-in-a-Box 2017 Everything/Ultra/audiophile, you don't need this patch as the fixes are included. A summary of the fixes and improvements is listed below."

Yes. Note the date of the update. It's one day before BIAB 2017 was released.

I assume from the release notes that if you remain on the 2016 or earlier or if your 2017 update is UltraPlus or less you want to apply the RealTracks update.
As always, if in doubt, apply the update. It won't hurt anything.

Yes, that's true. My understanding is that it only updates what it finds.
Related: see today's announcement of a new RealTracks update with a bunch of fixes.
