RB Saves the song in RB format.

That is different from the BB format.

RB can open a BB format song and allow you to continue to work on it there, but once you make changes and save, it will no longer be able to be opened as a BB songfile inside BB.

This is because RB, by design, lays out the full playback of the BB song linearly along a timeline, but BB uses those choruses for repeats, etc. Once the songfile is impoorted into RB, it becomes a true multitrack with all parts laid out along the single timeline.

So RB can open .mgu, .sgu, etc. songs, and RB has the ability to generate more autoaccompaniment tracks using the BB styles if desired, but does not work at all in the BB songfile format.

Once imported into RB, though, the ability to generate more BB tracks alongside the existing tracks if desired can be very powerful in and of itself, so don't let this information heed your exploration of the use of RB in song development. Depending, of course, on your end goal. Those desiring to make a recording are more likely to want to use RB than those who need to use BB for playback in live performances and the like.
