Dear all, Today, I discovered a problem. It seems to be related to the Mandolin, Rhythm Bluegrass Doc EV 100. Here's what I do... - Load _Trav.sty
- Type in 8 bars of chords and set the number of choruses to 1
- On the String track, I change the Resonator Guitar (RT #377) to Mandolin, Rhythm Bluegrass Doc EV 100 (RT#599).
- Right-click (in chord view) and select Song Settings
- De-select Allow Embellishments of Chords
- Generate the song
When I do the above, the ending does not work for the Mandolin. If, however, I have Allow Embellishment of Chords selected, the Mandolin ending works fine. One other thing: I installed the July 28th Realtracks update (without realizing that I didn't need to because I had purchased 2010.5 - that will teach me to read the update notes!). I thought that this update installation might have something to do with the problem. As a consequence, I completely reinstalled BIAB/RB. The problem persisted. I have also tried restoring to the factory settings. If anyone gets a chance to try this, I'd appreciate knowing if the problem is mine alone or something more general. EDIT: Additional informationI have just discovered that if the 4-bar ending for Realtracks is unchecked, the mandolin will end properly. Summarizing my experiences so far... - 4-bar ending on and chord embellishment on, the mandolin (RT #599) ends properly.
- 4-bar ending on and chord embellishment off, the mandolin does not end properly.
- 4-bar ending off and chord embellishment on or off, the mandolin ends properly.
Regards, Noel P.S. I have BIAB 2010.5 (#304), quad processor computer, 4 GB RAM, Vista 32 bit (UAC off), 330 GB disk space.

Thanks, John. Interesting. So far the problem has been 100% consistent on my computer. I'll keep experimenting.
Thanks again.
Noel

Unless I'm misunderstanding you Noel. I'll keep working with you on this.
The chord embellishment "feature" was not intended to add embellishment but more to take it away so that the Jazzy RTs could be used on less jazzy tunes. With a mandolin and country style guitar there should be no change as I doubt these RTs were made using any jazzy chords.

Hi John,
I have just added some addition information to my original post. It seems that the 4-bar ending used for RTs also plays a part.
I appreciate that your looking into this. You have a whole heap more experience that I do. Thank you for the note about the purpose of chord embellishment. I hadn't thought about it along those lines.
Regards,
Noel

Hi All,
I think RT#599 does need some attention.
When I duplicate the above, with a two bar ending and --use four bar ending for real tracks-- not selected:
If I have -- Allow Embellishments of Chords--checked, I get RT#599 ending at beat four of the last measure, and it ends by playing an ending pattern. It would sound great except everything else has ended at beat one of the last measure.
If I do not have -- Allow Embellishments of Chords--checked, I get RT#599 ending at beat one of the last measure (along with everything else), but it just stops playing it's normal pattern.
I'm running 304 on XP SP3.
I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

Hi Jim, Thank you for trying it out. That sounds very similar to what I get. As a consequence, I've sent a link to a link to his post to support@pgmusic.com so that they can investigate. Regards, Noel

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
