It allows BIAB to 'see ahead' selections of RealTrack audio to be muted so the mute/unmute transitions are smooth and do not abruptly end or begin or cut off audio phrases. It has been acknowledged in posts in the past that using RT1152 is preferable to using Bar Settings Mute/Back to Normal function always resulting in better transitions and thus avoiding unnecessary regenerations or audio editing due to poor transitions created using Bar Settings Mute/Back to Normal selections.

RT1152:silence is also used as a place marker RealTrack when styles are changed on the Chord Chart during a song. This is due to one style having an instrument that another style is not intended to have an instrument playing on that particular track. Therefore, to prevent the first styles instrument to continue playing once the second style has been loaded, the second loads RT1152 to mute that track. That's why a user will see Silence appear as an instrument on a track. It's because the style has been changed and RT1152:silence is recognized by BIAB the same as any other RT is. BIAB is behaving normally in the demo attached because of the style change that's made.


I promise, it's not a bug and it's been around for years... it shows up often with MultiStyles.
