I am afraid you are getting mixed up or getting me mixed up. Things are different in the BIAB2021 and the BIAB-VST2021 in regards to midi chord file output. Combine that with the fact that we have just concluded certain features worked in BIAB pre-2021 but are no longer working in BIAB2021. So it is not surprising that we all would be a bit confused.

My understanding was you wanted 1) a midi file which corresponded to the chords in the chart you were providing to your jam mates. And 2) you wanted this to be imported into Audacity to be rendered to wav. Since you only have BIAB 2018 we can talk only about that since this feature is currently broken in BIAB2021, however, works well in BIAB-VST2021, but you don't have that either. BIAB 2018 should be able to accomplish #1. Putting the midi file into Audacity is a good way to play the midi file and to see that things are as they should be and of course render to wav. Audacity should do that just fine.

Does this sound correct?

If so, I would be glad to put together a quick video with BAIB 2020 which should be working well (last I checked) using the OutputCh feature to make the chord chart midi file and then opening up in Audacity and rendering to wav. Let me know.
