Update: I got it solved finally. See the summary in the fourth post.
Hi, In the past I have been able to enter notes in the soloist track and have them play back. So later I started putting a real track in there. All of a sudden I want to remove that real track and have it go back to a track to be used for note entry. So I went into track actions and erased the real track and midi data then I entered some notes and I get no sound for those notes. I even went in and selected midi piano for the track and get no sound. The midi melody track is sounding so it can't be a midi driver issue. Does anyone know What I have missed here?
Actually I tried switching the Real track out with a midi track and it won't even do that.
So I tried creating a brand new BIAB song file from scratch. I entered notes in the soloist track and it sounded them fine. I switched midi instruments and they still sound properly. If I switch to a real track that appears to be the problem I can't switch back. But also the solo real track is not sounding on the brand new file which is new to me because I have been able to switch to real track and get it to play as stated above.
This has all come about because I am trying to help a friend in our jam club who I got to buy BIAB :-) It is forcing me to learn it better :-)
Thanks,
John

So I got one to work. I did track actions, erase track then set track to default settings and it would play the notes.
However on other song files this does not work. The current one sounds the note when i enter its notation but not on playback. I have reset to default settings 3 times.

So I pick another song file, I erase the solo track, I set it to default settings, I choose a midi instrument and get no sound on entering notes. Then I solo the melody track, play it and go back to soloing the solo track and I start getting sound. It seems that strange progress is being made :-) Lets try this on another song file to see if it is consistent.

I got it to work. I had muted the soloist track in the bar settings.
Here is a summary for switching the soloist track from a real track back to midi for notation entry.
** Right click on the soloist track, choose track actions, chose erase track, answer yes to everything.
** Right click on the soloist track, choose track actions, reset to defaults.
** Enter some notes in the soloist track first using editable notation mode
** Right click on the soloist track, chose a midi instrument.
** Make sure there are no bar settings in any choruses muting the soloist track.
....Go to the chords window. Look for a red underline in any chord cell. If yes right click on it, check bar settings.
....Do not forget to check all choruses by clicking "*All Choruses*" button at the very top.
** IF they still do not sound, play the melody track and if it sounds try the soloist track again.
