Joseph Land: Thanks for your great reply!

The plot seems to thicken. I did a quick test using one of your listed styles _BGBDBS8.STY .

BIAB 2022 Count-in loud and clear

BIAB 2026 No count-in, just jumps into the first bar of the song.

I ran out of time this evening and I'll try more tomorrow, but I wanted to let you know what I have found on my limited testing.

Many thanks again
