Frank,

The best way for me to understand UTs (I like your abbreviation so I'm borrowing it if you don't mind) is to think of a UT as a collection of loops.

Let's say you have four bars of something happening in the key of "C". If you insert a "C" in only note 1 of bar 1 the sgu file tells the BIAB or RealBand program here's four bars worth of "C" you can carve up and use as you see fit. If you need four continious bars of "C" material you can use this but I can't force you to use it this way. It may reverse the order of bars, it may slice the four bars into odd and even bars, it may use two of these "C" bars in unison then pickup two more bars elsewhere.

Now let's say you take those same four bars and label each bar as "C". Then the sgu file says there are four bars of "C". The probability of any of them being used in unison decreases dramatically but the possibility that bar 2,3, or 4 will get used is the same as bar 1.
