Any ideas. I'm still a bit of a newbie.

Can you use Pushes to do this?

From the BiaB Help:
Pushes in Styles

Styles can push any instrument so that the instrument plays before the chord begins. This is very common in Jazz and other Pop music, and gives the music a more natural sound.
"Pushes" (sometimes called anticipations) are chords that are played before the beat. For example, in Jazz Swing the piano player often pushes a chord change by playing the chord an eighth note before the beat.
To use keystrokes:
Type the caret symbol ‘^’ before the chord. (The caret symbol is located above the 6 on the keyboard.)
Type a single caret to get a chord an eighth note before the beat.
e.g. ^C7
Type a double caret to get a chord a sixteenth note before the beat.
e.g. ^^C7
In Jazz styles (and other triplet feels), the chord will be pushed by a triplet, regardless if there is a single or double caret (^^).

RealTracks will play pushes if:
- the "Allow RealTracks Shots, Holds, and Pushes" option is enabled in the Song Settings dialog and the RealTracks Settings dialog,
- you have the RealTracks shots and holds files installed, and
- the Holds (H) column in the RealTracks Picker shows a number. If there is a number there (other than a blank field), then they are all supported. If there is an "n" this means that they are supported, but you don’t have the Holds_## files in the RealTracks\Library\Holds folder.
