Is there a way to create my own fills in BiaB (either in the standalone program or vst plug-in) to go in a particular spot in my song?



I encounter this ALL the time. If you work in BB it might not be as easy to fix as if you are working in a DAW. I love using a DAW for my mixing and live recording. So, in the DAW, you can easily find a part that you like and would love to move to a different place. Easy to do. COPY the part you want using the measure settings and simply drop it into the hole. I tend to delete the measure I don't want, copy the part I do and drop it into the hole I created. It is seamless. A good DAW lets you set the resolution you want. If I only need a kick and cymbal crash, I set the resolution to quarter notes, make my hole, copy the hit from another place and paste it in.

A DAW lets you do lots of nice easy edits that are harder to do in BB.
