Or Action menu > Show action list > type chord region player > run. You can try it with the plugin just add 4 bars for each chord you will be using for now. Save the chord as SGU, Open > SGU to reopen it. "Biab Plugin Chords" button or run script. Don't create fills, I'm working on that now so it will play a fill when you hit the same chord again or automatically after so many beat counts.

Just make sure you have the xxbpm in the track name box. You can have a plugin on each track at a different temp and style, just load the common SGU into them.

I saved it as Pipeline120bpm.SGU, reopned the file, dragged it into Reaper but there is no meta-data/chord regions as shown in your vids. The buttons on the toolbar are unresponsive.
