I've been thinking about this problem.
It brings to mind some questions. Someone could probably figure out the answers by just playing with it, but I would hope these questions could be answered within the documentation (by PGMusic).
1. When you use slash chords for different bass notes, which instruments respond to it? Just the bass, or all chordal instruments? So in other words, does the piano, guitar, strings, and bass (assuming they are accompaniment versus soloing styles) all honor the slash bass note? Meaning if you freeze the bass track and then take away the slash chords for the other instruments, you may end up having conflicting bass notes playing.
2. If just the bass, is that based on the name of the instrument used, or is it that the bass must actually be on the legacy bass track only ?
My concern (in thinking about it) with freezing the bass, then removing the slash chords and regenerating the piano part, is that the piano (as potentially a full range instrument, depending on the style used) will now play the root bass note (and potentially other bass notes that work with the chord), which may then conflict with the moving part on the actual bass instrument.
I think we need a better understanding of how it works "under the hood", and what is actually affected by using slash chords. I did look in the user manual to see if this was explained, but only found that 1) yes, slash chords were supported and that 2) [presumably MIDI-only] soloists will adjust their scale based on analyzing the use of slash chords.
So Assuming that all chordal instruments probably honor the slash bass, I agree with the original assessment; if the base chord is the same when using slash chords, it should be treated that way and the style should not play the 1 beat MIDI patterns found in the style. This should then probably be a wishlist item (if not already).

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
