Colin,

I use single bars and parts of bars all the time in the generation of solos and rhythm - that's one of the advantages that RB has over BIAB. If you are after a melodic lick, and if I understand your request properly, it might be that you need to generate a soloist instrument rather than a rhythm instrument.

There are many matched pairs of solo/rhythm instruments - e.g. Jack Pearson playing distorted rock guitar as rhythm (#573) and soloist (#576). How I use these is to create a backing track using the rhythm version and then for the turnaround, I select the appropriate bar(s), right-click over the selected region, and choose to select and generate the appropriate soloist instrument: in RB, the generation will only happen in the selected region.
