So to add to this, IMHO it is not user workflow, it is not intentional program design, it is an unintended "programmatical issue". There, I never used that word. That word bugs me. Whooops...

Well very odd. Strangely I can generate on the melody track with track 5 frozen. But if I then try to generate another custom style on the soloist track it will then not! generate until I unfreeze track 5, then I have to re choose my midi voice as it pays no heed to what I asked for , however after choosing say Choir ahhs every thing works fine and both tracks play.
Bit of a mares nest this one methinks.
PS Mind you I can see that it may need to regenerate parts of the original arrangement to make room and spaces to introduce the extra instrument part into the arrangement.

Right, this is what I wrote about. Try 3 or 4 more patches/styles. Example, right now change the patch/style to something else. You should see the Choir still playing but it will play the new style you selected. Do it again just to confirm what I found. Here it keeps remembering whatever the last patch was.
If I go back to the track that I inserted a custom style on using Choir ahhs, And then click on insert custom style again it come up with the last settings in the insert custom style screen, if I change the voice patch say to trumpet, it looks as if it has taken in the mixer but when I play, it reverts back to choir ahhs and so does the mixer display.
However if I just choose a mid voice patch for that track in the normal way it does indeed change, and sticks playing the custom style track with my chosen mid voice.
1: I can confirm Bob's findings. It seems to remember the previous patch used, not the selected one, and unexpectedly jumps to that when the song is generated.
2: In my case, I was trying to add a MIDI strings track to either the Melodist or Soloist track. The frozen requirements on Track 5 might be different for a different patch, a MIDI Super track etc. If it helps, the MIDI I chose was the Strings track from the BOSANEW Style. Insertion results may be different for other Styles however, including the frozen status, but that was my finding.
3: At present, I have "Auto-Generate Track Labels" disabled, I found it less confusing while trying to sort this problem out. Normally, I would have that enabled.

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

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."
