Snag in BIAB 2018 when rendering a single midi track?

Hi all I am currently working on a complex project to do a version of Brothers In Arms. But deliberately trying to achieve this by doing all the work within BIAB. So lots of regenerating of tracks while the others are frozen and judicious use of the bar settings no problem there,
The snag came because all tracks including Solo had been used by the style.
This left just the melody that I used for just that my Midi melody notes.
But I needed more now for sound effects for intro wind and thunder.2 XG high bank midi sound effects to run simultaneously on two tracks.

The answer to temporally remove the solo track which was in fact only a simple loop track, and put it back later after I had used the now empty solo track as a temp, midi track a few times and saved each take as audio to be imported back into the audio track, using the overwrite option,

This worked in the end, But in order to get it to work I had to export the whole song as separate rendered tracks under Audio menu, then delete all the rendered realtracks exported tracks that I did not require,. Just leaving me my rendered midi, to import into the audio track.

I should have been able to just render the midi track to audio under the track options
Save track as wave file, although this seemed to work and it did write a track called single rendered track as a wav , although this track played in any wave player including windows media player, if you imported it into the projects audio track it was silent mute no mater what ,WHY WAS THAT???

As I say I worked around by exporting the whole song and deleting all the tracks I did not want but what a game.
Your expert thoughts on this would be much appreciated
Mike
