Whilst the whole 68 bars work fine in the main BiaB application, in the plugin in Reason, the drums think the song has ended at bar 32.

Other songs are fine. Removed the ending tag and then the drums stopped 2 bars earlier. Changed styles and also copy pasted the chords into a new song: still the same frown

What is the version number of the plugin? The version number is displayed in the bottom, left corner of the plugin.

Are you using the VST2 or VST3 version of the plugin?

Last, it may be relevant to know what version of Reason are you using.

This has been reported by others. Can you tell us exactly what Real Drums is problematic for you?

There is a version 5.0.9 you can try.
Is the chord sheet unfolded.
You can drag the Drums track name from the main BiaB application directly onto the Drums track in the Plugin. If you want it dry, flat, center drag it to the "+" in Drop station.

I have the BBPlugin v5.1.4 which solved the issues with the plugin starting two bars late.
You may have to ask PGMusic for a copy as I don't think it's available on the website.

Unfortunately, there have been no updates to address. This affects multiple styles.
