I've had this occur while doing several different tracks.
I set up bar settings in a bar, then they show up in a different bar.
They seem to move around and/or disappear.

2024 Build 1108.

Just another day in the Twilight Zone.... Hmm

This is a known bug, it has been already reported to developers.

I saw this about fixes in Build 1109 (a link for which was posted in another thread... and
hoped it would fix the F5 (Bar Settings) problem...
"Fixed: F5 dialog was out of sync in some cases"

Installed 1109 and Nope... Still extremely wonky.
Bar settings keep changing themselves.
Changes made in one bar don't hold in that bar and then show up in a different bar.
Keeps happening.
Still not usable.

With the update of 1109, have you solved the previous problem of volume automation kicking in at the wrong bar number?

Only briefly looked at it. The audio edit window showed the end of the track for a change ,and where I placed the marker on the volume automation line stayed put when I started playback.

So a solid maybe.

I encountered the same problem. Playback is not the same as volume automation node. It comes several bars early or late.

2024 is bad.

I will be reverting back to BiaB 2023.

Sorry, I think you may have misinterpreted what I had said. I didn't see the problem when I did my "brief" check and I just went back in to try on another song. tt appears to work okay, with the volume automation staying where I put it, and behaving properly. At least for now it looks okay.

Wish I could say the same for the "F5 Bar Settings issue".

If Volume Automation is working properly, you can turn on/off instruments at the desired location as you wish, then what's the point of using F5 Bar Setting?

One of the points of Bar setting is you can make changes for all affected tracks in one place. Now that utility tracks are included.

Also. I don't know yet, haven't had time to test, but a BIG problem with volume automation has been, if you add or delete bars, the volume automation doesn't move with the change and you have to go into each track. Individually, to move the markers.
This isn't a problem with bar settings

Volume Automation is a 2022 new feature, which is the best way of controlling on/off.

Even you insert or delete bars, going to each track and moving the volume nodes back and forth, is WAY faster than using the Bar Setting window.

True. This is another known bug, that was reported to devs. Unfortunately, there is not much else we, as users, can do.

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
