I like all the RealTracks and RealDrums. They are a nice feature. I have a question, though, about generating a solo using RealTracks. For instance, I put a solo in the middle chorus and set the 1st and 3rd chorus as having "no-solo". When the solo is generated, it is fine. My problem is that the soloist is also added to the final 2 bars at the end of the piece. I don't really want that as I want to control the coda myself. Is there a switch to stop that from happening? Or, how can I remove it from the soloist track when it is generated. It has been generated everytime I place a solo in the middle chorus. This does NOT happen when I use a midi solo instrument.
Thanks for any explanation.

Try assigning the solo to a track such as strings, and use Bar Settings to mute/unmute the solo as desired.
To remove the solo from Soloist track, right click on the track and choose Erase track...

Rich:
I presume that for your song, you have enabled "Generate 2 bar Ending for this song" from the "Song Settings" menu. If that's the case, then BIAB is merely "following your orders". You asked it to generate a solo for the middle chorus and ignore the 1st and third.
When it finishes the 3rd chorus, it reverts back to "normal" and therefore generates the solo for the last 2 bars, as they are not really part of the 3rd chorus.
When you create your Solist selection in the Select Soloist window, I used the same settings as you did for "Solo Which Choruses?" but I also clicked the "Custom" button and indicated where EXACTLY I wanted the Solo to be played. That got rid of the extra RT solo in the last 2 bars.
Good luck!

Thanks for the comments. I will do as you suggested. I felt when I looked at the "Custom" button that it may have solved the problem but was too lazy to select it and try.

You said: " Try assigning the solo to a track such as strings "
I could not find a way of moving a RealTracks soloist track to the "Strings" Track. How would you go about doing this?

You can also use the CUSTOM button on the Soloist, and then , for example, start at bar 1 chorus 2 for 64 bars to get choruses 2 and 3 of a 4 chorus song.
Have Fun!

Right click on the Strings (or any other track) at the top of the screen. Choose Add/Remove RealTracks...
This will generate a RT for the entire song. You'll have to use Bar Settings F5 to mute/unmute where desired.
