Thanks Rharv for taking time to share this information. Here is what BIAB help says about resolution in the help file in Preferences for midi .
"Resolution for MIDI File
By default, Band-in-a-Box saves MIDI files with 120 PPQ resolution. This is about 4 millisecond resolution, which is very good resolution. In our listening tests, people couldn’t tell the difference between files at 120 PPQ and files at higher PPQ (like 960 etc.). But if you prefer to work in a DAW at a higher PPQ, you can now have Band-in-a-Box output at the resolution that you want."
Currently, I overcome the precision limitation of 120 PPQ resolution by cutting larger chunks based on breaks between words, chord changes or pauses. I acquired this habit based on the shortest time period I could edit or punch-in with the Tascam DP-24.
Your explanation is a great help and will make a big improvement in my editing. Thanks for replying.

Where it makes the biggest difference for me is audio editing. But if I can be more accurate with MIDI too, why not? It makes the capturing of performances more accurate. The PGMusic statement "This is about 4 millisecond resolution" tells me they are also using 120 for the Tempo to determine this. Like I said above, at 120 tempo and resolution it's 4.17 milliseconds. Glad to see them verify my results!
If you play a grace note quick enough and at the right moment in time it can cause the two MIDI events to be written to the same time slice. I've had this happen, which is what started me along the MIDI resolution path. I guess one other example could be a drum roll or flam on an electronic drum set. Recorded at 3840 would be much more real than 120 ..
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
