There are ways of improving transitions and adding more instruments than the track count allows within BIAB without moving to RB or a DAW.

Multiple instruments can occupy a single track. Using the Song Settings - 2 bars before changing instruments on a track, select the Fade per Bar option for the track. Use a small number and you will likely have to experiment a bit. 8-12 work for most of my songs. After the two bar 'fade out', select the bar where the new instrument starts and select Back to Normal for the track. According the the particular song, it may also work to leave a blank bar between transitions if the track has a choppy transition. I have gotten transitions as smooth sounding as if they were done in a DAW using this technique.

This technique of including multiple instances of instruments on different tracks and 'sharing' a track between multiple instruments can create a doubling effect or pan an instrument.
