The current behaviour is that if auto-show/hide tracks is selected in the Mixer Settings, any empty track will be hidden, unless it is the selected track. The Melody track is the default selected track when you launch Band-in-a-Box, so that is why you are seeing the Melody track appear. A solution for you is to select another track (e.g. Drums), and then the Melody track will stay hidden. Hopefully we'll come up with a better solution for this in the program, but for now, at least you know that you don't have to keep unchecking the Melody track, just make sure that it isn't the selected track.
