I did download and reinstall RealDrum Sets 1-10, 11-20, & 21-29. About 3Gb of data. Clearly most people only get a choice of one demo song (with the correct 3/4 drums).
I think I'll report this to the developers

Here is what I have on my hardrive. If you don't count the duplicates, I have 1 style file, 1 sgu file and 1 WMA file.
I've got two different demo's. Interestingly Demo #1 which has the incorrect RealDrums is from a much later date (2019) (Tip: Right-click and open image in new tab to see full size)

That looks like a leftover from an earlier install. Sort of looks like to me that back in the olden days (2019), that drum package might have had the 4/4 version included.
As a last look, I would see if you have more then 1 WMA file on the hard drive. I only have one and that plays in 3/4 time. If you happen to have more then 1, I would not be surprised if the other one plays in 4/4 time.
Like I have said, I have seen it in the past with one other another style.
.. whatever time everyone is gonna play in, I'm doing something else .. If Belew is gonna play a 10 note phrase, I'm gonna do 11 eventually it will resolve
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Definitely only one BM_CWLTZ.wma file on the disk, and only one BM_CWLTZ.sty but there are two different .sgu files.
The WMA would be what I hear if I listen to a pre-made demo, which is different to what I hear when I load the Song Demo. BTW, the WMA file has the correct drum timing.

I would venture to say that everyone who has this problem will have 2 SGU files on their PC instead of just 1. If it were me having the problem, I would just delete the 4/4 version. I doubt that PGMUSIC will have an update that would delete the erroneous file if present.
If the O/P reads this (or any one else with the same problem), look in: x:\bb\Demos\RealTracks - Demos\ check to see if you have these two BM_CWLTZ demo files, and delete (perhaps rename) the highlighted one shown here:

I have both demos, and removed the first one with the fiddle. The second one loads fine, but if I load the style itself instead of the demo song, I still have the problem with the 4/4 time on the drum track.

Hope this helps.

I've reported it to the developers again.

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
