You are correct of course but I do not hold much hope for solutions to the things you are describing. My advice to any newbie would be to use BIAB to generate instrument tracks that follow your song's chord progressions & tempo, export them dry & centered and then do all of your production in your modern DAW software. Don't bother with any feature that does not directly aid you in getting those instrument tracks exported!
That is BiaB's main and should be it's only function IMHO. It should drop everything else like recording, notation etc and concentrate on backing tracks, both MIDI and RTs, output (XML, MIDI and audio) and go to 64 bit so our excellent VSTis will work with it.
There are far superior tools for recording, audio editing, notation etc. I feel using BiaB's tools for these functions would equivocate to building a house with on a hand saw, hammer and nails while your neighbor builds a house with power tools.
YMMV
