1) You can use a 4/4 triplet resolution style and consider it to be in 12/8 or each BiaB cell/measure equals two 6/8 measures

2) You can use the 4/4 triplet resolution style and on the first bar hit F5 and change the number of beats in the measure to two,

3) You can use a 'waltz' style and consider two 3/4 measures to be one 6/8 measure. This won't work well in the notation window, though.

I've used all three methods, and which one works depends on the song.

The thing is, BiaB is an excellent auto-accompaniment app, and it does a lot of other things wonderfully. But it is not a great notation app. The notation is merely a convenience, one that I use very often, but am aware of its shortcomings.

BiaB is arranged in numbered cells in the matrix. By design, they can have either 3 or 4 beats in each cell. There are ways to get BiaB to play odd time signatures, but they won't show up in the notation window properly. For example, if you want 7/4 time, you can make one cell 3 beats and the next one 4 beats, and two cells will equal one measure of 7/4 time. It will play back properly, but the notation will be in 3/4, 4/4, 3/4, 4/4, etc.

I don't mind using hacks like this to get around the BiaB limitations, because I use it for what it was originally designed for, auto-accompaniment.

I was hired to write styles for a few hardware and software auto-accompaniment products, and IMO, BiaB is the best of the best in that department. It allows the style writer to write styles that play back with more musical appropriateness than any other I've worked on.
