NO, that couldn't be right, we only just asked for that recently, that should take at least ten+ years if at all to do, shouldn't it ??? 2008 Export Chord Notation with .mid Files

Can't believe I am back, but this program has had a big impact on my music. A little of this app appears in everything I do. It is now back on sale for the low price of $49. It reminds me a lot of BIAB in the way you can never really master the total content of what this program can do. It literally can hurt my head (in a good way ) thinking about what it is doing. Every use is a discovery. But if you have followed this thread, you already know that...

Sorry for Delay Jeff, I never saw this question till now
So I don't use RealBand so I can't give you a quick answer. Ir does work well in a standalone mode or with Reaper. If you need this info, get back to me and I will check it out for you.

I could have put this video in a number of places, but I chose here. I have always realized the significant overlap between BIAB and Scaler but this video is the best I have seen of someone attempting to build a song, ala BIAB, using Scaler. In reality a workflow which combines both BIAB and Scaler takes advantage of the best of both.
