A bit lost by the recent treads but I love the midi-love being expressed.
To my understanding the ability to play chord extensions is related to the midi-style selected. Piano and guitar can play the many extensions accurately only if the style includes Chord Notes. However, this option is not available for bass or the other non-chordal instruments. Does that summarize the current findings?
So Dzjang can you restate the wish? What exactly do you want BIAB to do?
