Good morning,

There is a "force to simple arrangement" option, which can be activated globally at the song level, or at the level of each track.

Furthermore we find the “Simpler” option in the Picker style.
I would like to know how the two interact.
I imagine that the "Simpler" option of the realTrack Picker is only taken into account during the initial generation of the real track made from the RealTrackPicker?
What happens if we regenerate the track from the main screen (chord sheet view)? Is the track regenerated as simple systematically or only if the "force to simple arrangement" option is active at the Song or Track level?
I imagine we are in the 2nd case?
And if this is the case, to limit the ambiguity it would be good if the "force to simple arrangement" option was automatically positioned at the track level, once we have selected the "Simpler" option in the track picker
To avoid this kind of ambihguity.

Yours sincerely

I understand that not all Tracks have a Simple Arrangement option so selecting it may not always give the desired result.
RealTracks will have a letter "s" in the "Simpler Available" column in the RealTracks Picker if the RealTracks instrument has simpler options available.

I'm not sure, but I think the global / song level option chooses all RealTracks that have the Simple Option available, whereas at Track Level the user can individually specify.

The Help states: "If Simpler is checked, the selected RealTracks will play a simpler arrangement (less busy, less embellished). "

If the question is which option has priority, I believe the correct answer is that we users do not know.
