Drum count-in options
Option to hear the drum count-in even if the drums are muted or disabled.
This is great for drummers who play along with Band-in-a-Box and mute the
drum track. Previously, when the drum track was muted or disabled in a song,
the count-in drum click wouldn't play. Now there's an option to play the drum
count-in in all circumstances. To set this option, choose Edit | Preferences and
set “Lead-in drum count if drums muted” to true (default is true).
StylePicker Enhancements.
There is a new filter to display only the styles of a certain styles set number,
as well as displaying the full descriptive name of the styles set. The limit of

number of third party styles developed for Band-in-a-Box. The window size
has been increased, providing more space for the category descriptions. A
new “Show All” button removes any filter set.
