Where are shots, holds, bar changes that are previously saved in BIAB? [resolved in 610] #511878 12/22/18 05:38 AM Band-in-a-Box VST and Pro Tools/AAX DAW Plugin (Windows)

I opened previously saved in BIAB SGU file. It did not retain shots, holds, breaks etc... I am having a difficult time understanding the purpose of this. My main intention for this plugin was to generate versions of tracks on demand in DAW, so I do not have to open/close programs. A convenience. Is that something in works or I am out of luck? There is absolutely no use of the VST for me, if it does not retain core arrangement data from BIAB... Please let me know. Thank you.

For some reason, I thought this was one of the primal uses of this VST... To use previously saved arrangements in BIAB to easily generate tracks on demand and import them to DAW without having opening/closing programs. Maybe I was wrong about my expectations.

There is a thread here that says the next version releases tomorrow on Christmas eve. Final Tour - Not with a Bang but with a wimper! Ended.

Currently the only thing not implemented is the plugin loading shots from previously saved BB songs. That will be implemented very soon Already implemented is everything else about rests, shots, holds, - you can type them in and it saves with your DAW project - if you save as a BB file the shots are saved in it - the shots etc. generate with the arrangements _________________________ Have Fun!
