Okay so here is the situation. I have a song that is straight 4/4. Bar 8 needs to 2/4. I used bar settings to set 8 to 2 beats and 9 to 4. All works well. What I really want is bar 8 to be 2 beats, D...,D...
The hits are as they should be BUT now ther is silence on bar 9 even though there's a chord. Change bar 8 to just D and bar 9 plays but of course no hits.

Hi John,

Try putting some chord on beat 3 and/or beat 4 of the 2/4 bar. Even though it will be grayed out and doesn't play, it often helps solve this problem.

And then regenerate.

Regards,
Noel

And while this work around may work, the underlying problem of not generating sound in bar 9 (for example) needs to be fixed.

I don’t think I’ve done a 2/4 bar in the middle of 4/4 in a few decades, but I didn’t know about this little quirk and workaround. Thanks.

It's an old problem, that Noel96 gave a workaround for in 2017.Bug got fixed in BiaB 2018 build 519. But sadly came back in BiaB 2019 first build.
I've been in contact with PG Support now in the beginning of december.

And PG Support couldn't hear anything wrong, it sounded as it should.
I sent my last email 8 of december, and asked if they could try again or at least look in the notation window, where I clearly can see the problem. But no answer to this day.
The conclusion to this is that silvertones and I are doing something wrong. Because we can't assume that PG Support is both deaf and blind, can we. whistle (sorry, but I love this kind of MusicStudent humour)

Here is what I wrote to Support:
An old problem has emerged again in Band in a Box 2019 - 2020.
Reported to PG Music 2017-11-08. Forwarded as a bug 2017-11-10.
FIXED in Band in a Box 2018 build 519. 2018-06-19.
Now back again since the first build of Band in a Box 2019. And in Band in a Box 2020.

When I insert a rest in bar 6, with Bar Setting 2/4 with a Dm chord and change that to Am at bar 7, with Bar Setting 4/4, with no rest. See pictures below.
Then Band in a Box plays a Dm chord in the first beat of bar 7, instead of Am, beat two plays correct. I have Band in a Box 2020 Build 703.

And if I choose to let the hold in bar 5 continue into bar 6, Band in a Box doesn’t play anything in the
two first beats in bar 7.


Here's a picture of my first email to PG Support

by the way, Happy New Year to you All!

I had chords in all bars even the 2/4 bar. I removed the D..,D.. from the 2/4 bar. Opened the song in RB did the D..
,D.. in the 2/4 bar and RB handles it as it should.
Does the 2 hits on bar 8 and bar 9 plays unlike biab.
