I added another monitor to my laptop, hoping that I could display different Realband windows in each screen (i.e; track window in one screen, mixer in another. While I'm able to drag the entire program to the secondary monitor screen, I'm not able to drag a separate window over. Is there a fix for that, or is that a function of the software?

That's just how it is, you need to span it across both monitors then move the internal windows to the monitor you need, so if you had 4 monitors it would look like this: Full Screen
To the folks who replied, have you actually set your computers up with two monitors for BIAB? I tried it exactly as indicated and it wont let me drag the windows to the other monitor. It will let me do that for effects in BIAB, or to drag the entire program window, but not the separate windows, such as track or mixer.

So I had to get my other monitor off the shelf plug it in restart and the same result as I showed in the first pic. You were talking about RealBand in first post now it's BIAB, I think you still mean RealBand.
Yes, RealBand. I apologize for my denseness. First, thank you much for dragging out your monitor! I think I have it now. Just so I understand, what you're doing is stretching out the viewing area on the one screen to allow the two windows, track and window, to sit side by side. Then just drag the part you want to see separately to the other screen? I attached a pic. Thank you.

Yes that's it, that looks like a good set up you have, gives you a bit more room to do things. If you right click the taskbar settings and select auto hide will give more desktop space.
Glad you are sorted. I have to say before I finally got my cataracts done on both eyes ,I tried all sorts of things like dual screens to get more real estate for working, than my 15inch laptop screen. But at the end I bought a 32inch hdmi monitor and sent every thing to that, Still use it to this day despite my eyes being done best money I ever spent. Mike
What you can do for the monitor setup you have, in the Windows Display settings drag monitor 2 to sit above 1 so as you move your mouse up it will go onto monitor 2 above, just span RealBand vertically.
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."
