My problem is that clicktrk.sty does not seem to be 'panable'. The setting under ‘Track Settings and Actions Dialog’ only causes the pan slider in the mixer window to move visually, but does not cause the sound to actually move to the left or right.
Can anyone help?

Kindly

btw.,
I would like to be able to use this click-track funktion directly in biab, i.e. w/o exporting tracks to wave files.
Hello and welcome to the forums!

First off, "clicktrk.sty" is not a style provided with Band-in-a-Box. Perhaps you were talking about METRONM1.sty? That one is included with all BIAB packages.

Second, CoyoteWT (the default synth provided in Band-in-a-Box) does not seem to support panning when it comes to drums - a bug or an oversight, I'm not sure, but as Coyote is not our software it is not something we can fix. If you use a different synth plugin for the click track then that will (hopefully) respond to panning. One example that works is the Microsoft GS Wavetable synth, which is built into Windows.
