Band-in-a-Box Version 2009.5 Build 284 (Windows)
Changes:
Added: Classic RealStyles styles made. This is a new category in the StylePicker, and it contains new styles that are intended to be commonly used RealTracks. They are divided into genres, so you can go to Classic RealStyles – Jazz to easily find RealStyles for Jazz Swing, Bossa etc. (Note: For RealTracks released prior to August 2009 there are many Classic RealStyles included in the RealTracks patches).
Added: Guitar RealCharts have been improved. The new guitar RealTracks have more accurate guitar display/tab/notation for the corresponding RealTracks.
Added: The Verify function in the RealTracks assign dialog has been enhanced. It checks your installation to find out if RealTracks are properly installed, or if any files are missing.
Improved: Song Memo enhanced. The font for the song memo is size selectable.
Improved: Developer mode for RealDrums enhanced. If the file c:\bbNumberedDeveloperFiles.txt exists, the DrumAudioResults.txt with information get numbered and written to c:\bb\Results folder (Note: This feature is only for those people developing their own RealDrums files. You need to create a c:\bb\Results folder first).
Improved: Realtracks are enhanced. These features are present in the new RealTracks that are released with 2009.5: Smoother playing of piano parts over slash chords; Support for some more complex slash chords like C7/E played by piano; RealTracks feature to only play certain riffs in certain keys. This feature happens automatically on certain RealTracks, no settings are needed.
Added: RealCharts for piano are auto hand-split now. RealTracks (and MIDI style) piano parts that are on the piano track will appear with hands-split (right hand in red, left hand in blue) on the Big Piano window, and in notation. There is a setting for this on the Notation-Options dialog.
Added: Smooth Audio looping. Now the audio track loops seamlessly, including when it is used with the conductor. Frozen songs now loop smoothly and are usable with the conductor.
Added: Any missing RealTracks/RealDrums are listed. When a song is loaded, played or saved, a yellow hint message will appear if any RealTracks or RealDrums are missing, listing the files that are missing or not available in your installation.
Added: The SongList dialog now lists if any RealDrums or RealTracks were not found, in a separate column ('d' and 't' indicates missing RealDrums or RealTracks, '-' indicates missing style). Note: If you want to disable this feature, you can add the file AlsoReadStylesWithSongListBuildUp_False.txt to your bb folder (contents irrelevant).
Added: Chord Options dialog now has a 'Clear All' button that erases all Rests/Shots/Pushes/Pedal Bass from a song.
Fixed: Audible 'Audio Glitches' in some RealTracks were removed.
Added: Songs with RealTracks on Drums (and no drum part) get a drum count-in. For example, _BG_BAND.STY.
Added: If a ChordSheet/ notation transpose is in effect, there is a Transpose 'yellow hint' message on bootup as a reminder.
Added: Audio Base tempo reminder message. If saving a song, and Audio Base tempo is different than the Song Tempo, a warning message will show, asking you to confirm that you want to save it like this.
Improved: Feature that starts a new line on a part marker (section) has been enhanced - Previously a section with only 2 bars wouldn't start a new line, now it does. F5 bar settings Notation - on a new line - now works for chord sections. Notation starts a new line on a part marker (like the chord sheet). This can be disabled for a song or globally.
Added: Option added for Melody-Guitar rechannel, to include events already on guitar channel.
Added: When launching AudioChordWizard, a preserve part markers question doesn't appear now if there are no chords in the song.
Added: Message in RealTracks dialog when no style demo found.
Improved: Many more demos shown in RealTracks dialog.
Added: Multiple search terms work with RealTracks picker. If you separate terms with a space, each term is searched for separately. So a search for "Country Guitar Ev 120", will find any Country Guitar styles with an Even feel that would work with a tempo close to 120.
Added: Multiple search terms also work with RealDrums picker.
Added: Adding a search term for RealDrums or RealTracks that has a number will filter for RealDrums or RealTracks that match the tempo or within a compatible range.
Added: Checkbox for RealTracks to show/hide RealTracks that are out of compatible tempo range.
Added: Spacebar starts from current location, and stops the song (this is now the default).
Added: Double click on radio buttons at top of screen opens up the menu (like the right mouse click does).
Changed: The RealTracks and RealDrums button now open up the RealTracks Picker and RealDrums picker, instead of the settings dialog (Control-click will open up the settings dialog).
Added: Favorite song dialog opens up song dialog if there are no songs in favorite.
Fixed: Endings weren't playing for RealTracks that had 2 substyles.
Fixed: Some chords were silent for certain type of RealTracks with 2 substyles.
Fixed: RealTracks not honoring break bars on replay.
Fixed: Visually hung notes on guitar or piano sometimes showing when stop was pressed.
Fixed: AudioChordWizard, average song tempo was being set to 120 in Band-in-a-Box, instead of the actual tempo.
Fixed: Conductor if we press X to set a loop 4 bars, doesn't say loop 4 bars in the yellow hint area.
Fixed: Archive button for Realtracks, when asking for drums it wasn't archiving them.
Added: RealTracks now searchable by artist name.
Fixed: Custom solo generation was leaving a RealCharts MIDI track that could be heard.
Fixed: With some of the 101 Riffs add-ons, there were audio memos with the riffs that weren't playing.
Fixed: When opening a song from the RealTracks dialog, the memo doesn't open now, as it was conflicting.
Fixed: There was a bug that happened when you didn't have any ASIO drivers installed on your computer, and you selected ASIO as your audio driver type.
Fixed: Wrong string "Pre-processing WMA" in progress dialog.
Fixed: When you save a RealTrack or MIDI track as a wave file by right-clicking on the track name and selecting Save RealTrack as WAV, ASIO drivers were automatically switched to MME.
Fixed: Songs with a style change from MIDI Drums to RealDrums.
Fixed: Yellow message for the delay between songs, and juke delay.

Fixed: Stuck notes visually on big piano, piano roll, lead-sheet.
Fixed: Piano channel was getting set to 8 or 9 sometimes if hand splitting was set to true.
Changed: When File-New, a chord isn't added to the ending bar of the song. Note: A chord would get added to the ending bar if you press Play and none exists, this is normal.
Fixed: Miscellaneous improvements and fixes done to various styles and demos.
Added: The new behaviour of the assign realtracks dialog is that it shows whatever realtracks is set for the style (or song over-ride), instead of just showing the song over-ride.
Added: Clicking on the labels in the realtracks assign dialog also sets the track.
Added: RealDrums dialog now updates after returning from Settings dialog. Also shows path name in dialog.
Added: RealDrums and RealTracks dialog shows path in title bar.
