Once you set any of the first tracks (Bass, Piano, Guitar) to "Simple Arrangement" in the Track Settings Dialogue you cannot change them back.

This does not appear to be a problem for tracks 5, 6 or 7.

This is irrelevant of any Song Settings or General Settings regarding setting tracks/song to Simple Arrangement.

Please advise how to fix this problem.

The specific instruments on the Tracks depend of the Style that you are using, including RealTracks or MIDI or a combination of both.
Tell us a little more.
- What Style are you using?
- Are any of the Tracks frozen?
- What detailed steps did you take to change the Style to no longer be "Simple Arrangement"?
- What version / build of BiaB do you have?
- Is this a Windows or Mac version?
- Does it affect the Drums Track the same way?

Hi,

That's interesting - are you saying that some Styles have hard-coded Real Track settings including setting specific realtracks to "Simplistic Arrangement" and the user can't change these?

I thought "Simplistic Arrangement" relates to RealTracks and not to Styles.

How do I work around this - what do you guys do?

Hello Nigel,

There is a setting in the Song Settings dialog, "Force song to simple arrangement". If this is set, it will automatically select the Simpler version of RealTracks, if available.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks - I have checked Song Settings and "Simple" setting is set to Off.

The Style I am using is _CHICAMP.STY

Is there a way to get into this style and turn the "Simple" setting off?

Best Regards
Nigel

I see.... yes, you can edit the style:

Ctrl+shift+F9 --> Misc --> More --> choose each instrument and uncheck "simple version".

Save the style as a different name so that you don't loose your version of the style.

Nigel, it works fine here. Check options/preferences/override and see if "force to simple arrangement" is checked. If it is then that is a global setting and maybe the song setting "Force song to simple arrangement" is not overriding it.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks - yes that did the trick.

Excellent.

Best Regards
Nigel
