These will fit tracks from Biab Plugin to a Tempo Mapped session in Reaper (the plugin just needs fixing so when it's playing back the generated tracks in sync (before dragging into the DAW) it needs to sync play back to the DAW's tempo map).

right click Save Link/Target As
ReaTrak import chords from biab plugin.lua

ReaTrak set item bpm and fit to project tempo map.lua

Reaper > Actions > Show action list > ReaScript > Load > ReaTrak import chords from biab plugin.lua
after it has been unfolded, Saved and reloaded
Run > ReaTrak import chords from biab plugin.lua
do the same with ReaTrak set item bpm and fit to project tempo map.lua
File > Project settings > Project start measure > -1

To get the button panels install ReaTrak

I updated this to give a bar or [grid] beat option (so if you right click the snap magnet and set it to 1/2 it will insert the stretch marker every half bar), if you have sustained notes like a bass you get an artifact where the stretch marker is, to remove them from a sustained ending use (beat won't work with the grid set to swing, that's a Reaper issue, so use bar)
Item: Remove all stretch markers in time selection

right click Save Link/Target As
ReaTrak set item bpm and fit to project tempo map.lua

Actually having the stretch markers already there is brilliant because BiaB tracks sometimes tend to "truncate" certain measures, and it would be uber useful to pull out the waveform in just the right places without having to set them each time (assuming I'm understanding the operation you're bringing up here)

Yes you can just drag them and stretch the wav.
I used Sonic Visualiser (or Audacity) to tempo map the original drums, though you can do it in RealBand with ACW, create a midi metronome track and drag it into Reaper to get a tempo map.
