And here I sit in 2026, a mere 10 years after this thread started, and nearly 2 years after my last post in this thread, I'm having an issue changing the RealDrums selection in my song files in my spiffy new 2026 version of BiaB.

First, I created the entire song with the first slow blues style I ran into, which used one of the Nashville128 RealDrums series.

Then, I went looking for something a little more interesting and found a Texas Blues slow blues style that featured drums with a nice slushy half open hihat. In the first bar selection blue box, Snare, Hi Hat Loose was selected. See Texas Blues Rock song file below. This is the SGU file for the demo version of the style.

So, when i opened my original song file, and right clicked on the first bar section select blue box, there was no selection for Snare, Loose Hi Hat present in the Nashville128 RealDrum package. See the selection details in My original song file below.

Then, I right clicked on the RealDrums=Nashville128 in the Mixer window and changed the RealDrums selection to the BluesRock 128^6.

When I auditioned my song file, it still played the previous Nashville128 drums. And, when I right clicked on the first bar section select blue box, I noticed that there was no selection available for Snare, Hi Hat Loose. Also, the RealDrums selection text had changed to RealDrums=BluesRock128^6. This was misleading because the actual drums being played were still the Nashville128. Also, when I closed the file, I was not asked to save changes.

I closed the Band-In-A-Box application, and relaunched it.

It came up as shown in New App Instance below. When I hit the space bar to play in the default window, it played with the slushy hihat drums that wanted. The RealDrums selection shows BluesRock128^6, and the right click details show a selection for Snare, Hi Hat Loose.

Doesn't this indicate that the BluesRock drums are actually present in my system, even though they are not being accessed in my song file?

Is the attribute I am changing immune to changes, or am I missing something here?

If I am not actually changing the drum selection, why is the text changing but not the actual drum selection?
