Is there a way to prevent a baseline from walking in four after the first chorus of a song? I have a song in a jazz style and like the way the baseline plays on the first chorus but it gets too busy on the following choruses. I just want the simplified baseline for the entirety of the chart.

Try substyle changes.
Also track settings allow you to configure middle choruses.
Change the bass player sometimes works.

Thanks for the suggestions but I could not get anything to work for me. It seems that anything past the first chorus goes into a walking baseline instead of a two beat.

Do you have the green/blue (A/B options) indicators set to change after the chorus - assuming you are using an RT that has an A/B option?

Many of the RTs are available with an all A option, an all B option or the aforementioned A/B option that you can set to change.

If they are set to change by default, then yes I assume they are set that way. Not familiar with how to change that.

Here is an example:
RT 2311 "JazzBalladRon A-B" In twos or walking - changed via bar maker
RT 2312 "JazzBalladRonIn2" In twos only
RT 2313 "JazzBalladRonWalking" walking only

That sounds a lot like the behavior of "Vary Style in Middle Chorus" checkbox in the Additional Song Setting Submenu.
See attached.
You want to make sure that box is not checked.

A lot of those Ron Carter (and other ) acoustic bass real tracks revert to walk when that box is checked.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
