I believe the issue is trying to use RealDrums on a track beside the legacy Drums track using a style where the click is the only instrument and that instrument occupies the Drums track.

What I would try is load a BLANK style to provide bpm, time signature and feel.

Navigate to File > Stylemaker > Make A Hybrid Style.

Select Strings from the choices offered.

Select the .STY button to open the original StylePicker or Choose ... to open a Windows File Explorer window since you know you want style MetronM2 and where it is located.

Select the drums from MetronM2. (Note the midi drum track from MetronM2 should populate the Strings track you selected above).

Fill the textbox and select the OK- (Re) Generate style with name --- button to name this style.

Select File > New.

Load the style you created above. The click track should be on the Strings track.

Load NashvilleBrushesCountryPopEv16 to the Drums track.

Load Bass 2903 to the Bass track.

Load Piano 1542 to the Piano track.

Load Guitar 406 to the Guitar track.

Save this style under a new name. Hopefully this will be your new custom style.

Band-in-a-Box treats drums differently from other instruments. In most cases it really expects a single instance of RealDrums to be on the Drums track. I think trying to use RealDrums on a track other than the drum track inside a midi only style is why you're having issues.

Help files indicate a Hybrid style is also a midi only style. But Band-in-a-Box doesn't mind substituting RealDrums for midi drums. So I think moving the click track to the Strings track and placing the RealDrums on the Drums track SHOULD work.
