I just asked myself that question but didn't come up with any concise answer to myself.
TBH....I have no idea what 'genre' I write in.
I've never written anything with a particular 'genre' in mind.
Whatever pops out of my pea brain just evolves as I put things together.

I'd guess I'm light rock (meaning all lyrics can be understood clearly), maybe a few tunes bordering on a slight jazz influence....but, that assessment is for other listeners to determine.

I tend to think my lyrics are subject specific and genre neutral but I've been wrong in the past.
I have already co-wrote and completed (2) concept (to your symphony related comment) projects.
One in 1985 of (6) tunes and one in 1994 with (10) songs.
I have another that is unfinished musically....lyrics of all (6) tunes are done.

Ultimately, I'm comfortable with what I write and have no interest in writing in other genres many of which are unappealing to me for one reason or another.....subjectivity rearing its head here.
'A man has to know his limitations' (movie quote....:))

With good knowledge of BIAB program depth, some music knowledge and personal musicianship skills I think one can get about any genre they want out of this program.
One's only limitation is one's imagination.

Good luck on your quest by the way.
You got a bump anyway.....carry on.
