Stefan,

I'm glad you found a setting to highlight playback notes in red.

It is unfortunate that when a program has so many settings to personalize how it works that each settings can have unforeseen consequences when used. That's one reason why I dislike big software updates to essential software I regularly use like Windows 10, LibreOffice and Cakewalk by BandLab. After the update it always seems like it takes about six months for me to adjust the settings to personalize a program to fit my needs.

At least with Band-in-a-Box each time you change settings you can store your new settings as a Preference file by going to the sub menu bar > Options > Save Preferences As ... and saving a new file or overwriting an existing file.

I've created my Preference file and it has saved me a LOT of grief. I've made it a habit to use the Return To Factory Settings option then load my Preference file every time I update Band-in-a-Box or the program starts acting funny. It takes less than a minute to perform these actions and I firmly believe I've saved myself hours of frustration.
