Thanks Noel and Rachael,
I actually did try moving over to RB instead of BIAB, but it presented a new set of problems that sent me back to BIAB:
1. The same RTs played in RB have a distinctively different sound than when they are played in BIAB. (I assume this is because of the FX and mix that are on them in BIAB. It is definitely not just an issue of track volumes.) I tried to solve this by finding the FX on the RTs in BIAB and copying them to the RB files, but was surprised to find that the FX interfaces between the 2 programs are so different that this task would be very tedious and time consuming. (Anyone found a way to load the RTs into RB with the FX/mix from BIAB??)
2. The files I compose in BIAB with RTs and RDs do not play the same in RB - e.g. I have a BIAB file with RT instruments on the Soloist track changing over 16 bars. When I open this BIAB file with RB, it does not play the instrument changes -just one instrument. (Tech support wasn't sure if RB will play these changes from a BIAB file. Anyone else know?)
So I've definitely hit the wall. Hoping there's a solution 'cause I really like the potential with the RTs and RDs. But in my experience, it's always a bad omen when I run into repeated file corruption and inconsistent results from the same set of commands.
I'll give it a few more hours tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks for your help, folks!

PS I redid the song from scratch a couple times, Rachael - new file, new folder, etc - and it would seem to work, but again, when I reopen the saved files, they're corrupt. And that snare shot plays randomly on the same file - a real puzzler.
PPS A clue?? - got the song playing perfectly in BIAB so I froze the RD track and saved the file. Hit play again, and it played completely different! Is Freeze causing problems??
