Once you set any of the first tracks (Bass, Piano, Guitar) to "Simple Arrangement" in the Track Settings Dialogue you cannot change them back.
This does not appear to be a problem for tracks 5, 6 or 7.
This is irrelevant of any Song Settings or General Settings regarding setting tracks/song to Simple Arrangement.
Please advise how to fix this problem.

Please advise how to fix this problem. The specific instruments on the Tracks depend of the Style that you are using, including RealTracks or MIDI or a combination of both. Tell us a little more. - What Style are you using? - Are any of the Tracks frozen? - What detailed steps did you take to change the Style to no longer be "Simple Arrangement"? - What version / build of BiaB do you have? - Is this a Windows or Mac version? - Does it affect the Drums Track the same way?

Hi,
That's interesting - are you saying that some Styles have hard-coded Real Track settings including setting specific realtracks to "Simplistic Arrangement" and the user can't change these?
I thought "Simplistic Arrangement" relates to RealTracks and not to Styles.
How do I work around this - what do you guys do?
Best Regards Nigel

Hello Nigel,
There is a setting in the Song Settings dialog, "Force song to simple arrangement". If this is set, it will automatically select the Simpler version of RealTracks, if available.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks - I have checked Song Settings and "Simple" setting is set to Off.
The Style I am using is _CHICAMP.STY
Is there a way to get into this style and turn the "Simple" setting off?
Best Regards Nigel

I see.... yes, you can edit the style:
Ctrl+shift+F9 --> Misc --> More --> choose each instrument and uncheck "simple version".
Save the style as a different name so that you don't loose your version of the style.

Nigel, it works fine here. Check options/preferences/override and see if "force to simple arrangement" is checked. If it is then that is a global setting and maybe the song setting "Force song to simple arrangement" is not overriding it.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
