My bad as I assumed that you knew the other steps. Here is another picture that explains it better....
Thanks Mario, is your last screen shot showing the visual cues I was asking about, or is it showing how to produce the visual cues? My version of Studio One is not as strong as yours.

It is the visual cues showing how I get to add the markers to Studio One Pro. Your version may or may not be different. If it is different then you will have to hit the manual as I do not have your version.
I hope this helps and good luck.
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

I finally understand what you are saying; I suspected there was a communication disconnect. When I referred to the visual cues in Biab being a very nice feature I was referring to the spreadsheet-like grid and the moving cursor from cell to cell in that grid. However, you are referring to markers in S1. I don't believe S1 has visual cues similar to what BiaB has.
But I do appreciate yours and others responses. FWIW I'm gravitating to your approach of getting into S1 as soon as possible in my workflow. In other words, use BiaB for what it is strong in and use S1 for its strengths.

as long as studio 1 is working for you but having read the original thread i'm surprised.
i plug an electric guitar into my behringer uphoria usb interface, select the uphoria asio driver and rb records 'straight out of the box'
Thanks Bob, I too plug my bass and keyboard and occasionally my drum machine into my Tascam Interface and record them in S1 . . . this works very well.

OK you want to line up drum 1, drum2, etc correct?
If that is the case you can do that in Studio One but labeling the tracks and moving those tracks into position. My last picture had guitar, guitar 2, strings 1, strings 2, etc tracks labeled as such. I could have put them in order. Is that what you are looking for?

I created a +++ request +++ in the Band-in-a-Box Wishlist forum section to suggest PG Music add a "move track" command to the F7 Track Settings and Actions window.
This command would combine initiating several tasks into one command to make moving tracks easier than it presently is while also minimizing the potential to lose or corrupt track data during a move.
Please feel free to add to the discussion or support the request.
OK you want to line up drum 1, drum2, etc correct?
Thanks for continuing to help Mario, your and others interest and inputs really are appreciated . . . but we are still not communicating. I know S1 allows you to reorder your tracks but BiaB doesn't; at least not fully per my understanding.
Jim Fogle submitted the wish list request. I will comment there.

I know you can't reorder then in BiaB. I was just trying to show you that you can do that in your DAW. However you already knew that so sorry for the redundancy.

It would be interesting to know more about your workflow and the need for a specific order of instruments.
First: Instruments can be re-ordered using the move/copy command and their labels customized.
Second: If it's a processing issue, multiple instruments can be placed onto any single track and perform as a bus with up to 4 effects processing all of the instruments while having panning and volume control over each individual instrument. For Example, in BIAB, there can be two (or more) acoustic guitars occupying the same Mixer Channel and playing simultaneously, panned hard left and right and their volume levels adjusted to balance the mix. Both guitars would share the same high pass filter, reverb and eq settings.
Third: I don't follow that the Bar Settings order sequence being exactly the same as the Mixer 8 Legacy Tracks order is clumsy or confusing.
First: Instruments can be re-ordered using the move/copy command and their labels customized.
I know the labels can be customized but not that their positions can be moved in the Mixer Window. Can you show how?

You maybe right; in fact I'd say you most likely are since he expressed as much in a wishlist post but ... drag and drop is not presently supported in Band-in-a-Box.
Since drag and drop is not currently supported the next logical step is for someone to create a BiaB wishlist request for the program to support drag and drop of tracks in the audio mixer.
I made a +++ wishlist request +++ for a "Move Track To" command to be added to the F7 Track Settings and Actions window. While not the same as BassThumper's original request the end result should be similar.
If anyone desires to create a wishlist request for PG Music to add drag and drop capability to the audio mixer I would support the request. I would also hope to discuss expectations for how drag and drop would differentiate between moving track names and track data without the possibility of incurring the loss of track data.
Thanks you for the info Charlie, you made me aware of Copy Special, but it fails to do what I am seeking.
I selected Edit, Copy Special and Copy/Move Tracks. I then selected Melody as my Source Track and Utility #7 as the Destination Track and hit OK.
It did not move the Melody track to the Utility #7 position. In fact, as near as I can tell it did nothing at all.

I may be wrong, but I'm thinking that the O/P wanted to rearrange the track order by dragging a track up/down to a new location
AudioTrack, you are not wrong at all. You understand exactly what I want; to move any given track to any position in the list.

Thanks for the input Jim. My intincts in being timid to submit a wish list were spot on. You pointed out that drag and drop is not supported in BiaB; I had no idea that this was the case; I learned that from you.
This need/wish/request seems to be mushrooming.
Thanks for supporting the logical advancement of this request.
