When tunes are playing, there are short delays, then the tune resumes again. Recently, one tune finishes while there is still one measure to play. The last measure was identified correctly.
I have a good sized computer system, but I think BIAB is encountering resource availability problems. Anything I can do to BIAB to make it less resource intensive ? My system is very clean.
Should I disable all other tasks when BIAB is running ?

If it is resources, reboot and see if the result changes.
Please give us a better idea of your computer specs. The free utility Geekbench gives a score. However, if your computer is powerful, there can be other things at work. Try the free utility DPC Latency Checker. The website has instructions. See if there is something else running that interferes with digital audio. Note: it reads 1000 high in Windows 8 & 10 but it still works.
There are also fast generation disable settings in BIAB, but let's see how your computer does on the above ideas.
Are you running BIAB from an external USB drive?
More info will help.

I ran the latency check and it said there should be no problem.
All my BIAB tunes are on a external disk. BIAB application files are on my "C" hard drive.

I copied a BIAB file from my external drive to drive "C". I still encountered a problem with tunes stopping before the reached the end of a tune or pausing during the tune.

Are you using MME or ASIO ?

I downloaded and installed asio4all. I think there is an appreciable improvement in sound quality. Tunes still stop/pause, but not as often.

Generally, Latency is caused by using the wrong driver for a given sound card.
Unless the sound card is specifically designed for ASIO, don't use ASIO...choose MME.
Latency shows up when you have midi stuff playing through a soft synth and also audio in teh tracks as well. I can get my MME drivers to play well with BB but the latency issue shows up when I go to a DAW and have audio and midi with synths in the same project.
Processing the synths into real time and mixing that with audio is where the latency becomes apparent.
If the sound card is external and supports ASIO, then by all means use ASIO since it makes all that stuff above work together and produces great results.
Sometimes ASIO4ALL will work and sometimes (as in my case) it doesn't. A4A is simply a wrapper that tries to fool a non-ASIO sound card into thinking it is an ASIO sound card.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I believe it is coincidence if your sound quality changed by selecting a different driver. Latency, maybe; quality, no. But whatever works...
In your original post, you asked about shutting down other tasks. If DPC Latency Checker shows no problems with underlying services, I have to ask, what are these tasks to which you refer? If it is other programs running while BIAB is running, then yes, close them. If it is something else, please elaborate.
