pauly,
I've also kind of given up in the meantime: Although I've installed my old version on the other computer, I don't want to work on that PC more than really necessary, and therefore I'm playing along the demo songs only atm. Also, my old version was 2020. So you at least could use the utility tracks in 2021, which I can't. Rechanneling would work only for my 3rd example, but that's quite an annoying work and therefore not really acceptable.
I've just thought that maybe this is a chance to catch Andrew, since he had replied in this thread, other than the PG staff did in one of our about 10 former threads about this problem (except for one irrelevant reply, to be precise).
From what I've seen in your examples of the other threads, we both want to do about the same stuff with BiaB. A lot of other forum members have quite other interests in BiaB, and therefore they seem not to encounter our specific issues as soon as we do. So if we can't reach the PG staff, they might even not get aware of these bugs.

I know. Just wanted to explain, why I have still posted about it in this thread, although I've also already kind of given up ;-)

Andrew,
I attach a video with a little "medley" of my midi problems:
Example 1, after File - Open:
Melody should be Vibraphone, but plays Piano.
Example 2, after loading Demo Song
Soloist should be Guitar, but plays Piano (some other times horn)
Example 3, after Drag&Drop a midi:
Imported tracks all play Piano Thank you for the video. I could duplicate #3, not #1 and #2, but they might be related.

Andrew, There might be some further clues in the following posts, though as they're back in early 2021 and I knew very little about BiaB, it may all have been operator error (though the various twists and turns within BiaB don't help). I'd posted the song, but it isn't there now. Anyhow, the thread is here on the offchance that it may help: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=89028&Number=644769#Post644769

I've had this happen to me before (and reported it, just to be told, by PGMusic support, that it was by design)...
When I right click on the description of a track that I want to change, instead of right clicking on the track name... The focus of the track doesn't shift.
However, the right click menu does come up, on the track that you right clicked on, and it makes you think that you are changing instruments on that track. But you are really modifying the track previously highlighted (because to focus didn't change when you right clicked on the track that you thought you were modifying.
Apparently this is "By Design"... See attached screen shots... Just now getting back to this discussion. Posts after this one I still need to read more thoroughly. Anyway, Thunderthud, thanks for pointing this out. BTW, I don't "right click" to change instruments. Right or left clicking, it doesn't make a difference, so I'm usually left clicking. Anyway, I tried it with the track that I was originally having issues with -- a bass track. So I clicked on the Track Name, then clicked on its description and changed the instrument, and Yay! It worked. So that puzzle's been solved at least. BTW, I disagree with the coder's reasoning here. They've just made it so that I have to perform an extra step to get done what I wanted to get done. I don't see the advantage they're claiming.
