Works. I checked this on DLTCEP and the references are now correct but If I'm honest I've no real idea what the references mean or link to despite reading the description on dudleyville :P
I can have a look see. The way this works is the .MUS is a 2da and based on what is going on in the game will play which snip of music ACM. The "B" series are combat music (Battle). So basically it decides if combat is still going or not and will play the appropriate ending piece to match the current music so its all smooth.
@KeithS Just checked - the BG:EE version are markedly different from ToB. Are you using the BG1 music? The number of sound files 19(ToB)/30(BG:EE).
@Bhryaen You can check for more issues like this one, and some other simple-ish ones, but "does it sound good" is obviously more a matter of needing to listen to it. The good news on that front is that you can do so in NI (InfinityAmp).
I will check these ingame. Will edit two areas to play these and use them as arenas and see how the music plays.
Both BD1 and BL1 play fine in 0629. I created a test arena by copying AR0002.are and naming it CVArena.are. CLUAConsole to that area, create creatue GHOUL... and ran around a lot then killed it. The music takes a few seconds to reach the END piece, but it all seemed perfectly good.
Hm... might help to have a little more background available before trying to solve a problem... This is what Dudleyville says on the matter:
Contain some errors. Idobek explains: "If you load up BG:TotSC in DLTCEP you get (among other things) the following loading information: Generating music list... BD1 Missing music (BC1 B1) in musiclist. BL1 Missing music (BC1 B1) in musiclist. Upon investigating (i.e. goto 'Edit' 'Musiclist' and comparing these musiclists with others) it is easy to spot the problem: The last line of the 'loop suffix' section in of all other musiclists reads %FILENAME% %PARTSUFFIX% (i.e. BP2.mus reads 'BP2 A2'). BD1 and BL1 have 'BC1 B1' in the 'loop suffix' section. I simply changed 'BC1 B1' to the 'BD1 B1' and 'BL1 B1'. Oh, BC1 reads 'BC1 D1' so I have assumed the %PARTSUFFIX% part is correct.
This helps me about 1/10th what it helped @Balquo, but still...
I see... well the BG:EE version is clearly different at the XA1 entry goto BC1 B1. That is a different music list. My ToTSC version has BD1 B1.
Okay, on further tests of the music in game for BL1. There does seem to be quite a bit of stuttering and it isnt flowing smoothly through the music. Will investigate further.
Edit: By simply placing the ToTSC BL1.mus in the BG:EE override, the music sounds fine now:)
Edit Again: In case someone else wants to check this out. Here is a test area, just throw in your override. Just CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("CVArena"). Create a favorite monster and run around and listen to the BL1 battle music. You can change the battle music in NI or DLTCEP to another if you like. The entries and listed in SONGLIST.2da and the corresponding number is what you put in. 21 is BD1 and 23 is BL1, fyi.
Confirmed not changed, i think. @Nathan, what change exactly The last line in bd1 : XA1 BC1 B1 @TAG ENDA while in bd2, correctly: B2B BD2 C1 @TAG ENDB2
BL1 is also having BC1 in it. This may not cause ANY problem, i don't know if it does, but there is definitely no change.
@Cuv, @Avenger_teambg: okay, I checked my beta build and noticed that there was a BD1.mus present in the override that was correctly changed, but the BL1.mus still references BC1 in the final loop line. Does that correspond with what you gents have?
In this case, it would seem that BD1 should be fixed and BL1 wasn't, but I want to make sure that these files actually made it out your way and it's not something borked with our build process.
(I even completely nuked and re-loaded my private beta install just to check this...)
@Nathan In my override I have BD1.mus and BL1.mus. They did not sort with NI and remain shown in the override. I tried viewing them and they throw unable to convert errors on every line. ie NI Error report: Error converting A1 @TAG ENDA1 Could not find A1 The same for every listing.
BD1.mus does ref XA1 BD1 B1 @TAG ENDA *which is correct BL1.mus still refs XA4 BC1 B1 @TAG ENDA4
Yeah, gotta love that autoconvert default setting being on, but it doesn't seem to affect the file's operation once in-game... you can turn it off in the options menu if you don't wanna be spammed when checking the MUS files in the override.
Okay, that jives with what I've got here. I've made the changes so the references should be correct in the next build. For now the changed files will be living in the override - you're right when you say NI leaves them sorted in the override directory. That might be causing some of the confusion here.
Also confirmed aside from what @Avenger_teambg has said. The Songlist.2da looks good (except for some offset formatting which wont affect functionality).

Yes, they are using BG1 music.

ie NI Error report:

The same for every listing.
BD1.mus does ref XA1 BD1 B1 @TAG ENDA *which is correct

(fort2 and inite are new missing music... i'll file a bugreport for them in the tracker)
