3) Audio Chord wizard is able to handle fractional tempos and is lined up better with source audio than BIAB. BIAB seems to round. Fractional tempos would be better for auditioning the algorithmic generated chords vs. the audio. Or maybe an added control for just a fractional push/pull. At any rate - the same resolution available in the wizard.

Realband will work with fractional tempos. If you need this feature then using the ACW in Realband rather than BIAB will be the way to go.

5) I noticed soloist solos can, by random chance, repeat a phrase over and over and sometimes a few more overs again. This might be hip sometimes. But sometimes it picks the "hokey" phrase to repeat -- which isn't as hip. I'm wondering if there's a setting for limiting the regurgitation of material within the context of a soloist. Not a huge concern or bug - and I can always re-render (regenerate) until I find something that is only sparingly hokey.

I assume that you are talking about Realtracks solos rather than midi solos. Because Realtracks are audio recordings of a musician's performance across a number of keys, there is a limitation in the possible permutations of output. Regenerating the solo until you get something that suits is the only option available in BIAB.

In Realband, however, it's possible to highlight a region of a soloist generation and simply regenerate that region. In my opinion, this is one of Realbands real strengths.

6) Back to "bugs" - I noticed the leadsheet view doesn't always follow the music while playing. Sometimes the red highlight of which measure is playing is off or stuck. When there are soloist with notes I'm following to analyze what was chosen by the artist over different chords is generally how I've encountered this problem. Just loading the RealBand demos with soloist and looking at the lead sheet. Or maybe it's the "notation view" or maybe both. There are situations when the wrong section of music altogether is displayed.

In notation view rather than lead sheet view, the notes are highlighted red as they are played.

Again, I am assuming that you are referring to Realtracks. If that's the case, it's important to keep in mind that the notation comes after the creation of the Realtracks. It is a notational interpretation of the musician's performance. Mostly these transcriptions are very accurate. Every once in a while, and especially if the Realtrack is musically complex, the transcription approximates the musician's playing rather than details a note by note summary.

If you use midi solos, the notation is 100% accurate and playback will be followed note-by-note in notation mode.
