Bob,
You don't say how you performed the octave transpositions nor do you mention which track is involved. This means that the answer to your question could be yes or no (depending on your method).
I assume that you are talking about midi since midi is the only aspect of BIAB that can be controlled from the perspective of octave. I also assume you are talking about BIAB 2018.
1. If you varied the octave settings in "Options | Preferences | Channels" then, as far as I know, these settings are global and do not save with individual songs. I haven't tried it but I also suspect that they do not freeze when a track is frozen.
2. If the notation is on the Melody track and you used the very top menu bar's "Melody | Edit Melody Track | Transpose" (see graphic below), then this transposition is written to the Melody track and, as such, will be saved with the song.
3. For notation that is on the Soloist track, there is an octave transposition similar to the Melody's transposition above and, if you used this, then the transposition is again written to the relevant track.
There are a few other possibilities but I don't have time to consider them all at the moment (it's a pity that typing is so slow!).
Hopefully the above will help. If not, can you please provide more details that give as much information as possible.
Regards,
Noel

#TBT Band-in-a-Box® 2017 Review - Software for Learning Saxophone
McGill Music Sax School posted a video review of Band-in-a-Box® 2017 for Windows last year, stating "I love using software to help learn saxophone. One of my favourite programs is Band-in-a-Box. It's a really powerful tool for quickly making backing tracks I can use for lessons, or my own practice."

Band-in-a-Box® 2018 for Mac - Importing MIDI Files
Did you know that Standard MIDI files can be read in to the Melodist or Soloist track within Band-in-a-Box? You can use all of the MIDI File, or select channels or a specific range of bars, using these steps:
1. Melody | Import Melody from MIDI File to select a MIDI file from disk using the file dialog.
2. Melody | Import Melody from Clipboard - when the MIDI data is already copied from another program to the
clipboard.
A new window will open, asking for additional criteria - which channels, # of bars to offset..., # of bars to import, include lyrics, include patch changes - and more! Head to our online manual Chapter 10: Working with MIDI to learn more!
