Kent,

RTs are in their within the BIAB folder, no other RTs on computer.

BIAB and RB are in D partition, have done it this way for 10yrs+.


Just a couple of thoughts;

Should I have deleted the previous RTs before installing those I downloaded yesterday.

Would .ST2 or .XT2 files have any bearing on this. Previous issues I had with RTs were .ST2 related.

Regards
Vintage

I had issues with holds, bar beatcount, and style changes within a BIAB song made up in BIAB, changes set with chord- or bar settings. Importing those MGU or SGU files in Realband f.i. gave gap errors, also when loading a different style on the same track. If a RT gives me errors i try to generate it fresh on a new track from within Realband. F

Yesterday, as part of other tests, I did as your suggestion, gaps were apparent when the file opened in RB, but when I generated the RT on a new track everything was OK.

As I said in that previous post, this will allow me to keep moving with this song,
but I regard it as a work around fix rather than a cure for the problem so I'm still hoping Support can come up with something useful.

Hi Vintage,

I think it's time to delete the BB folder and reinstall from scratch. I've added an UltraPlusPAK links and serial number to your online account, and I'll send you a separate email with detailed instructions for getting this reinstalled quickly and easily. smile

Thanks

Just to let you know, that after a busy couple of days deleting and reinstalling on laptop and desktop, all is now well, you can all sleep easily tonight.

Again, many thanks to Kent and all who contributed.
