Select your soloist track and bar for the solo to start normally.

Allow your soloist to play the bars you want to hear the solo.

At the next bar beyond the end of the solo, on the same track the soloist instrument is playing, open Bar Settings (F5) and near the top of the Bar Settings window, select ReatTracks Button. From the RealStyle you are using, select a rhythm instrument. (It can be any instrument, but Rhythm is the safest to use and not have a glitch in my experience. )

For instance, in _FOLKRKG.STY Folk-Pop 12 string with electric guitar, the 12 string rhythm number is 896.

So when you select the next bar after the solo ending and open the RealTrack Button, in the filter box, select 896.

This replaces the soloist instrument with the rhythm instrument. Because two instruments are sharing the same track, when you generate your solo, BIAB will read ahead on the chord chart and will anticipate the RealTracks change and your soloist will be a good player and smoothly end his solo to make room for the new instrument.

Mute the track at the bar after the solo ending. Your soloist should play smoothly from start to finish.

If your soloist will be doing another solo or doing fills, you simply select the bar you want to have the soloist to return and in the Bar Settings, select the RealTracks Button and Replace the Rhythm instrument with your soloist instrument.

If this isn't in the Tips and Tricks Forum, it should be.
