yes edit and then freeze and save so hopefully by now you can edit and freeze midi tracks but there might be a few things that could make life easier.

pages 532 - 533 of the manual lists chords BIAB recognizes. maybe you can find a close approximation to what you want that will minimise editing. i'm not sure how BIAB decides what chords to play if it isn't one it recognises (which is why its not playing the chord you enter) so working with BIAB instead of against by choosing a chord it should recognise may mean less edits.

also page 129 - 134 describes chord entry - including from a midi keyboard so you could play in the notes you want the chord to include and see if BIAB recognises it rather than editing it later - i imagine it will automatically substitute a chord it knows that uses the notes you want instead of being tied to what you would enter on the qwerty keyboard. it might suggest a chord synonym for example.

thinking out of the BIAB box, if you open the file in RealBand and edit it, the midi won't regenerate so no need to freeze - just save as a seq file.

RB also gives you the ability to generate several versions of a complete track and to choose bits from each to make up a composite track.

also in RB you could try midi supertracks. assuming the chords you end up with are BIAB recognized you could try any of the jazz keyboard tracks to see if they fit better than the style based BIAB midi parts. and in RB if you don't like a couple of bars, multiriff will give you 7 alternatives to choose from.

there might be ways of getting BIAB and RB to work for you and not against you rather than letting it do what it wants and editing it later. or at least it might get you closer and minimise editng.
