"Alternately,

you can change bar 198, Select the play from bar icon in the Transport Toolbar, input bar 198 and play will begin at bar 198."

So in other words we are not allowed to have an "option" and we must do it this way when hitting Generate button.
If they do make an "option" how will this affect you ? will it be bad that you can't enforce users to do everything how you do it ? As I said you have Riff Edit that you are by no means forced to use as you can still render to wav and destructively edit, we can't go back now and remove Riff Edit, Tracks view and Multipicker as you can still just use the Audio Edit window and the destructive FX. You can go into the images folder and blank out the Tracks icon. If they keep the old pickers you can go into images also and blank out the MultiPicker icon, just add a smiley face icon or something on them, let me know and I can do them up for you.
I can make up an old BB2007 skin for old users and a new modern skin for new users.
