OP fiddler2007 Expert Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,796	Originally Posted By: Noel96 Fiddler, I've just had a play around with RTs 593 and 596 where I started a song in 4/4, changed to a single bar of 2/4 and then back to 4/4. The generations worked fine for me. Am I missing something? I am aware of the misalignment of generation that you mention. In earlier versions of BIAB, I found that when there were changes like the one above (4/4 to 2/4 to 4/4), it was necessary to put a chord on the beat 3 of the 2/4 bar. Even though this chord would not generate and play, it somehow 'kicked' the Realtrack generation into alignment. With BIAB 2018, I have no longer found it necessary to add this non-playing chord to align the RT generations. I interpreted this to mean that PG Music have addressed this behaviour. With this in mind, are you still having problems with the 4/4 to 2/4 and back to 4/4 alignment with BIAB 2018? Regards, Noel my latest song: Summer Moon Hi Noel ... I tried that trick of a pre roll chord, remembered you mentioned that before BTW ... BUT you got me curious ... can you PM-mail some downloadable (frozen) SGU or MGU file maybe? Meanwhile i am copying (again) all the ST2 and XT2 files plus the RTs containing fiddle stuff from my PG sent USB drive, just to be sure, and then will run the updates from July 2018.

The songfile generates and plays ok for me. Test file: 4/4 to 2/4 to 4/4 A couple of things that I noticed when running this file through additional tests today were... 1. The soloist guitar (#597) doesn't seem to have a great ending. (I'll report this to the developers.) 2. If bar 72 is made 2/4 and then bar 73 (the first bar in the ending section) is made 4/4, the transition between time signatures is played correctly but the automatic ending is negatively impacted. (I'll also report this to the developers.) How did the above file sound on your computer? Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2026 audios on Soundcloud

I loaded my MGU file (a Cajun tune i wanted to MP3 and print for an on coming Cajun fiddle workshop in Germany i am asked again to do). This file misbehaves. It's not frozen BTW. Over the one measure (bar) of 2/4, it keeps rolling on on 4/4 at all costs. WEIRD. Also the the loaded RT is always 430 ... i select 595, still 430 loads. Funny is that i can select another RT, not 595. The RT page rebuild shows no errors, and with your file i can switch to 430 or 595 any way i like. Somethings wrong with my MGU file; i'll send you a frozen file to your private mail, in a short while. Only thing i can think of is that i use a style i made, some years ago, at probably double speed, as i have to load the RT set to half-time .... might f*ck up matters. Thanks for the help so far Bro ! PS i am beginning to feel a little embarrassed about the way i started this OP. - F

FYI no, it wouldn’t matter where they go so long as: 1) it’s not in C:/Program Files 2)!it’s where the other RealTracks are 3) there’s enough space 4) you point to it in Options, RealTracks, Custom, BIAB 2026 Win Audiophile.

Loaded the affected MGU with another style with half the BPM count, and the RT set to 'normal', eureka, it worked. Noel reported these scientific analistic results to PG, hope there will be more added fixes to enjoy when the man (BIAB 2019?) comes around ....... F

At the bottom of the screenshots you posted of the installers there is a security warning saying that the file might be blocked. Did you try and check the “unblock” box and run it?
