The reason there are MIDI events with the pedal steel is because it must have notation associated with it. Many Realtracks have notation associated with them so that users can see what is being played. This notation is not always a direct reflection of the instrument's playing because it is usually added after the audio has been recorded and someone has worked out what was played. The notation has no impact on the notes that the Realtracks play so changing it will not do anything to the Realtrack.

If a Realtrack has associated notation, it is shown as a green line under the track now on the top, horizontal row of tracks.

One thing that I find useful from time to time is that this notation can be saved as a MIDI file. I can then use these MIDI files in a DAW with soft synths.

To enter notes in Piano Roll mode, hold down SHIFT+ENTER. The piano keyboard does not play in BIAB, it's used primarily as a selection tool (i.e. all C4 notes, etc) or a pitch guide when entering notes. Notes will play when entered or if the piano roll note is clicked on.

To facilitate note entry, it is also a good idea to set Snap and Dur (i.e. note duration). These are immediately to the right of the track-selection buttons.

Hope this helps,
Noel
