While I understand that BIAB is designed to create generic tracks, meant to represent styles, it would be nice if I could at least get classical pieces that where created with the authentic interpretation. I'm thinking about recording Bach's Ave Maria and the chords need to be play a specific way to fit the melody, and most of the time the Real Tracks don't quite get it right. I'm ok with most of the other tracks, but that is just one thing that bothers me.

Are you asking for the ability to edit BiaB chords so they come out with the desired voicings?

I wonder because I just went looking for that ability and didn't see it.

What you want is like a karaoke track. BIAB is not meant to do what you want.

It don't do that either. Other than adjusting midi the best way I have found to do this is in a VSTi - for example EZKeys for piano and Kontakt Session Guitarist for Guitar rhythms. Both let you set any chord voicings/inversions you like.

I was somewhat surprised to find that out since it seems like much of the infrastructure is in place. At the same time, I can't honestly complain BiaB doesn't have ENOUGH in the way of features, and perhaps the OP would have better luck with Kontakt or Garritan or one of the tools mentioned in this thread.
