Here are a couple of tests that I ran.

With MIDI only styles:

Test 1 - 1st measure = C, 2nd = C - micro chords E7-A7-E7-B7, 3rd = Em
a-all chord played correctly
b-excluding tracks does not work.

Test 2- 1st measure = C, 2nd = E - micro chords E7-A7-E7-B7, 3rd = Em
a-all chord played correctly
b-excluding tracks does not work.

Test 3- 1st measure = E, 2nd = E - micro chords E7-A7-E7-B7, 3rd = Em
a-all chord played correctly
b-excluding tracks does not work.

With RealTracks only styles:

Repeat test 1
a-all chord played correctly
b-excluding tracks does not work

Repeat test 2
a-all chord played correctly
b-excluding tracks does not work.

Repeat test 3
a-all chord played correctly
b-excluding tracks does not work.

Note that all of the RealTracks "a-all chord played correctly" results depended entirely on the RT style. Some completely ignored the micro-chord setting. Maybe I didn't select RTs that can be used in micro-chords? I did use the latest RT and MIDI styles, i.e. those from 2021.

Maybe micro-chords are not working properly here. Thus far I have taken all micro-chords into my DAW and worked with the raw data, as that is my usual BiaB to DAW workflow.

Maybe someone can also run some tests?
