So it's interesting that we haven't heard a lot about this on the PGMusic site (I think I saw one forum thread referencing it).

Notation Composer now let's you create (MIDI only) accompaniment using a BIAB plugin within the program. That MIDI can then be exported out to load into a DAW.

Notation Composer gives you a 60 day 15-style demo period,but if you buy it, you receive 150 styles. It will also allow you to use other MIDI styles provided by PGMusic and other 3rd party BIAB MIDI styles.

It seems that something like this could be a precursor to a BIAB VSTi that folks keep asking about. Anyway, below is the email I received, since I am a licensed Notation Composer user. You have to have purchased Notation Composer in order to use this $69 add-in. You can see there are some video demo links below on how it works.

IMPORTANT for you to know:

Each Notation Composer installation contains a Band-in-a-Box trial plugin with 25 styles. No separate downloading of a trial is required for testing the feature. You can just use the integrated Band-in-a-Box trial plugin for 60 days for free. After these 60 days the Band-in-a-Box trial plugin expires and you will be notified accordingly.
