You may want to try the following.

It sounds like and I'll assume your midi file imports into BIAB onto the Melody channel.

When you first do this import, the BIAB styles are disabled and this is indicated by X preceding the style name.

Play at this time will play the midi melody track and all sounds from all the midi parts are contained within this track. All other tracks are muted. The entire midi file is playing on the Melody track.

Select the green sequencer button followed by the sequencer melody track selection.

This action opens the Sequencer Window. Here you will see all of the individual midi tracks, their assigned channel, number of events among other things.

Audition each track and determine which track the song melody is located on. Select the Edit Button of that track, then select Move to Soloist Track.

The track with the song melody will disappear from the Sequencer Window. (It has actually been moved to the soloist track at this time)

In my example, I will assume there are no song specific drums or bass parts. This means these parts as well as say a midi nylon string rhythm guitar part that has no song specific riffs or strumming patterns and any other instrument not playing song specific riffs or patterns. Deselect these tracks from their associated play buttons. This mutes these midi instruments so they can be replaced with Realtracks and Realdrum parts. In my example, I will assume the song does have song specific horns and keyboard parts. Leave these channels selected. The following will show how Realtracks,Realdrums, song specific midi tracks and the midi melody combine to create very realistic sounding music for the song.

Close the Sequencer Window.

Select a Style. Enable the style.

Generate the song.

The realtrack and realdrum tracks will generate and play in the selected style to the midi generated chord chart, key and tempo.

The midi instruments that remain selected on the Melody Track will play along as well.

The midi melody will play on the Soloist track.

----

You can select different instruments for the remaining selected midi tracks and melody from the Sequencer Window. By carefully choosing Realtracks and Realdrums and well as taking care to choose a style that is appropriate to the song style of the midi song you imported, it should sound very realistic. Of course, feel free to experiment with styles that are very different to the original style to create your own custom cover of the song.
