(BB 2015 & Real Band build 417. Win 8)) As I understand the manual to merge I highlight my four tracks (mono), select destination track in menu box, decide to keep fx etc. However on OK I am told my destination track has data on it and therefore cannot be used. It hasn't. It does have straight blue lines though. In fact all 48 tracks are seen as having data on them as I cannot use 'insert blank track command either'
Am I configuring 'new file' incorrectly in some way?

sounds odd but i think - and i'm not at my music pc at the moment - a blue line is showing data of some form but not anything that will play.
if you select the track you want to merge to and use the edit/track/erase data does the blue line disappear and allow you to merge the tracks?
if so that's a workaround but why blank tracks have blue lines on i'm not sure.

Well 2015 is pretty old, the menu paths and options would be different than more current versions
If you Hover the mouse over the Track icon, a popup should appear, in that popup, does the Events item show a number? If it is greater than zero, the track has data. As mentioned; erase the data and try again. Or, if comfortable simply 'Erase Track' (which should give you a new blank track).
Or maybe try merging those tracks to a Wav file, and then importing the Wav file to a blank track, just a thought as a workaround. Like I said 2015 is pretty old and I don't recall this issue, maybe because I am pretty old too.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

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."
