Which style are you using? Some RealTracks don't support shots and holds at all. Also, did you insert the rested chord before or after the ending of the song?
If your chorus is 32 bars long, for example, the rested chord should be on bar 32, it won't work if you put it on bar 33.
Painterroy, are you using a Mac OS or Windows? What version? What build?
Good question.
May i also request Painterroy to provide us with a reference to the song he is having such difficulty with .
Also the advice by Kent ( PG ) is important here

However, the information provided by Kent bring up a question for me as to how do we figure out which RealTracks do not support shots and holds at all.

The easiest way to know if a RealTracks supports holds is to look it up in the RealTracks Picker.
The RealTracks Picker has a column that provides the folder number for any RealTracks that supports holds. If no number is given then a RealTracks doesn't support holds.
In the screenshot below the red highlights indicate some accordion and acoustic guitar RealTracks that do not support holds.
You can open the RealTracks Picker by clicking on the RealTracks button located in the Tracks section, pressing F% and then the RealTracks button near the top of the F5 window or right clicking on an instrument name in the mixer then selecting "Select RealTracks" > "Select RealTracks" from the right click sub menu.
Poor Mister Magoo here really had to squint to find that information in his Mac Band-in-a-Box® RealTracks picker and it only tells you via those pop-up windows when you hoover the mouse over it (screen shot ).
Actually to be honest i or Mister Magoo never worked with those columns.

Phew! And at first I thought you didn't like the screenshot I posted.
The RealTracks Picker column widths are adjustable. However there is not a way to "lock" the column widths. The column widths revert back to their default widths the next time you open the RealTracks Picker window.
Notice the "Copy List" button at the bottom of the RealTracks Picker window? Press that button and a RealTracks tab delimited list is created. The list can be transferred to a spreadsheet program for easier management.
