- Improved: Faster generation of Loops or UserTracks in some cases.
- Fixed: Song Title now uses a text edit control that pops up on top of the Song Title field, so that the editing it will work like a normal edit control.
- Fixed: Pressing the Chorus Begin button didn't usually update the text of the button.
- Fixed: loading in an BB song with an early ending wasn't generating the early ending correctly.
- Fixed: TGS files were not loading at all for RB 2016 when loading in a BB song.
- Fixed: after getting TGS files to load, drums and piano TGS files were swapped.
- Fixed: if a BB track was excluded from a rest, shot, or held chord, and the track were regenerated, the track wasn't excluded.
- Fixed: if measure offset wasn't the default, the music may have been offset incorrectly compared to the chords entered in the chords window.
- Fixed: some newer styles that realtracks with loops in it would generate every realtrack in the style, when attempting to generate an individual track.
- Fixed: regeneration of a loop didn't work.
- Fixed: Clicking snap button in Tracks Window visually released the long button.
- Fixed: nodes sometimes showing to the left of the overview section in the Tracks Window.
- Fixed: track volume, chorus, reverb, modulation not set to default values.

- Fixed: issue of RB freezing when loading demo with DRMNBAS.STY.
- Fixed: Importing a WAV file removed all track categories.
- Fixed: Selecting "DRMNBAS.STY" in the StylePicker and hitting the Load Song Demo caused RB to crash with an Access Violation.
- Fixed: Selecting Note Names: Channel Numbers in Notation Window Options shows numbers on the notes heads, but they don't correspond to MIDI channels at all.

- Fixed: loading in a .SEQ when the tracks window is scrolled down so that track 2 or greater is the top track, could cause the overviews to be out of alignment with the track info panels, if, for example, some of the track heights were smaller than normal.
- Added: FX button is shown in blue in the mixer window when the master, aux, or track contains FX
- Fixed: Markers (entered via the markers button on toolbar) would sometimes show up on the toolbar of the audio edit window instead of on the time line.

- Fixed: in some cases, wrong message popped up after a WMA file was successfully exported.
