I'm up and running and understand the interface again etc
Last time I sued this was over 10 years ago. At the time though I know I wrote a chord pattern, picked a style, told BB to have it go through 3 times and end.
The second time through it changed the beat a bit and played a solo. (Same tempo, just a bit more intensity on the drums etc) I think I somehow told it to use a guitar. (I still have the mp3 from that song I created)
Then the 3rd time it went back to the first manner of playing. But the "lead" it generate (piano) was not the same as the first.
Then a two bar end.
I can't see how to tell it to put a different instrument and feel in the repeat o the second chorus.

I think what you are referring to is 'vary style in middle chorus'. Right click on the chord sheet, select Song Settings, then select the options you require:
BIAB & RB2025 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
Reference the subject line, I've always figured that if I didn't understand something, there was a pretty good chance that I wasn't alone, so the basic/dumb/silly question was worth asking.
Only very rarely have I felt embarrassed after asking.
Another factor in places like these fora is that PGM and others should be taking some note of how often such a question gets asked. If it's quite often, then something probably wants clarifying. I'm pretty sure that some of the videos arise that way.

Thanks for both replies - I did figure out the "vary style" in middle chorus"
I also (accidently) found the solution for the solo - check boxes for having the solo in the middle chorus and suppressing the melody.
I'll figure it out later but I hope there is an option besides "chorus - solo - chorus. I can experiment but I wonder if you can have chorus - chorus - solo - chorus (not "middle) or other variations.
