I found out about the song browers feature of searching in my midi files. When I load a specific midi file, all the midi data seems to be in only ony channel (in this case "Bass 2")
The notes will display splitt up into single staff lines in the sheet music view/notes view as shown in the picture. As I would like to be the solist, finding a way to suppress the yellow staff from playing would be wonderful. Is there a way to achieve this?

LICEcap is an easy-to-use, popular, and free desktop utility program to capture a specific area of your screen. It allows you to export the selection in GIF animation and other file formats. This screen capture tool is an ideal choice for anyone looking to record desktop activity on a Windows or Mac device. With the minimal interface, it has been immensely popular among users around the world. While it’s a basic screen recording tool, it can help you create engaging demos and tutorials. Since it’s a lightweight program, the installation process takes only a few seconds.
Super tool guys. LICEcap delivers smaller files though. My choice.
Thanks for sharing :-)
One more thing to the use of Multi channel meldody an the dialog of muting of tracks or ban them from displaying. If I do several changes in this window, muting multiple and hiding the display as well of different tracks and do that in multiple steps, this concept gets mixed up not ending up to play and show what is configured in this dialog.
But if you do it once, as in my use case of muting one track of the meldody, it worked.

Stefan, this is the Biab forum and many prefer to use Biab and either forget or have never tried Real Band. RB is far better at working with midi files than Biab is. Just open RB to a new song and open your midi. It will automatically open to individual tracks that you see displayed right in front of you. You can manipulate each track any way you like plus since RB has 48 tracks and most midi files have a max of 16 tracks, you have plenty of blank tracks to generate RT's, create multiple takes of the same part, cut/paste parts, move them around, all that fun DAW stuff yet you still have the same chord grid and can use all the Biab generating functions.
I've had Studio One for years, Reaper, Cakewalk but keep using RB because while it's not as elegant and full featured as the other DAW's it's very easy to use and does everything I need precisely because it's a blend of a DAW and Biab together. That is very powerful. To really sound blasphemous here, I still don't see the reason or need for the plugin other than marketing. Just the word plugin sounds great to many people. Biab now can be used as a plugin! Ok, wonderful but we've had RB for years and it does everything the plugin does but more and better. It's taken what, three years for it to finally become usable? They could have used those resources to expand Real Band but that's another very long thread that happened some years ago.
I've realized that I'm never going to be a high level Hollywood music producer in spite of my fantasies and don't need all the extreme fine tuning functions you have in the big name DAW's.
I see I managed to throw in another rant about the plugin. Just check out RB, you'll like it once you get familiar with it, I promise.
yes I know, that RB does a few Midi things better than Biab can. But the GUI looks so utterly outdated, that I feel little invited to work with the interface.
The grey of the dialogs remind mit on Windows for Workgroups or at least to Win 95 times. I feel little joy to learn more about the interface. I do things for pleasure, this GUI does not lure me in.....
I find the pluging wonderful, that I can use styles in the DAW of my choice and write chord changes etc therein. Wasn´t the plugin needed, when PG does not make Realband a slicker tool? Tastes are different, which is in general a good concept ;-)
But thanks very much for your input Mammal.....
I am also on my way "to realize, that I'm never going to be a high level Hollywood music producer". But I am not yet shure about it, if perhaps I am.....
Cheers
Stefan

Why not try RealBand properly? nearly all the problems you've posted in the past few months would be easily solved by RB. The GUI is simple - everything is clearly visible - so it's ideal for what we who use it need to do. you can also choose the GUI appearance with the icon sets available if you don't like grey.
get to like the interface and save yourself the grief you are getting with trying to do things with BIAB that are not immediately obvious the way they are in RB

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."
