Hello,

I finally got the time to fiddle around and realised I didn't know how to "freeze" the drum part in a Style nor copy the drum patch (i.e instrument) to the solo track. (Copying the notes is ok. But not sure how to make drum as the instrument used in Solo.)



The "Freeze" option is only present in the latest version of Band-in-a-Box, version 2010. You should see a "snowflake" button in the main toolbar, or you can access the freeze options by right-clicking on the track name or from the Play menu. Once frozen, you can edit the drum track as much as possible.

For drums to work on the Soloist track, you can set the Soloist track type to multi-channel. Drums need to use MIDI channel 10. By default, the Soloist track uses a single channel that is not channel 10. You can use 'Soloist menu | Track type' to set it to multi-channel. Choose patch 1 (standard drum kit). For your inserted notes to default to channel 10, you can set the option in Notation Window options | More... | Inserted note defaults.
