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.


Thanks, Andrew. Not intuitive, no, but I just tried that workaround & it works. Thx! Yes, if they can fix that bug, it would be a god send. I never select tracks when opening files to rehearse - only rarely if I need/want to update some aspect of a track, & never knew about that Melody default. So I never would have made that connection. For folks (like me) who rarely/never use the Melody track, it still means extra needless clicking around each song file to click other tracks. So hopefully they can fix this for a nearby Build release.
