Also in the same dropdown menu in Bar Settings that you mute/unmute your track, don't overlook the other options. They can help your soloist transition starting and stopping much smoother.

For instance, if the instrument ends the solo too abruptly or continues playing into the bars past the bar you want it to end, you can use the Fade per Bar command in the bar that precedes the last bar the solo is supposed to end on so the playing fades away into the song. In your example, at bar 21, fade 16 and mute bar 22 if there are issues with the soloist ending roughly.

Another fun and useful technique to try is using multiple soloists on your track. Each channel of the mixer can have up to 10 instruments. Referring to Noel's picture of the Bar Settings page, just down from the top in the top third of the page is a button - RealTracks. At any bar, open Bar Settings page, select this button and follow the prompts to select a different instrument to replace the original instrument for that track. If you have a solo guitar, replace it with a sax. At another bar, repeat the process and replace the sax with a piano. If you do this to the max, you can have 70 instruments in your BIAB song.

You can also access this feature from the RealTracks picker by selecting the Medley button in the upper right corner.
