I'm trying to understand the RealTracks naming convention and what the different parts of the name (as seen in the Mixer) mean, and to be able to find these RealTrack files within my configuration. I've tried searching the 2025 User's Manual but did not find anything.

The first example I chose to look at is a piano track named: "1551:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm MemphisSwing Sw 190"
This piano track is within the style "_WAGER.STY" (Wager Western Lap Steel Swing)

Searching bb\RealTracks\... for "MemphisSwing" I find the folder "Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm MemphisSwing Sw 190" that has 24 files named pn1961 through pn1972. 12 of them are *.bt1 files and 12 of them are *.wma files. I.E. there are no files with "1551" in this folder.

When I search bb\RealTracks\... for *1551* - I find a pn1551.* in the "Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzNY Sw 140" as well as a ep1551.* in the "Piano, Electric, Rhythm FusionFastJeff Ev 150" folder.

What does this "1551" mean if it is not associated with the folder name "1551:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm MemphisSwing Sw 190"?

Just trying to understand.
Thanks.

The 1551 is a PG Music reference number. For users the number doesn't mean anything.

Sometimes you will see the numbers used to identify what RealTracks are in a RealTrack set.

For the rest of the RealTrack name piano is the instrument, acoustic is the instrument type (acoustic or electric), rhythm is the type of audio ( rhythm, background & solo), Memphis Swing is the performance style or style of playing, sw means the performance has a swing feel versus a straight or even feel and 190 is the beats per minute or bpm for short the performance was recorded at.
