Drag the chord track from Biab into RapidComposer Midi Import to give the same chords. I think they were planing on implementing it to just work with Yamaha styles.

Here's a minimal video showing basic functions.
There are a lot more features being added like being able to save pitch bends and controllers with the phrases.
Will go more into that later.
You have articulation maps so you can save articulations to notes in the phrases.
You can create realistic strum patterns using the virtual instrument keyswitches, these can be save to the library and fit to any chord progression.

Here's an old demo using the Ample Bass articulations. It uses the map in RC to play the articulations in the midi from the Ample library or any you may add manually. So you can import Guitar Pro Tabs into Ample then save them as phrases in RC with all the articulations that can be dropped into any chord progression and play all the articulations over any chord or octave.

This is from another post:

Don't forget you have Guitar Pro Tabs (thousands), if you don't have Guitar Pro you can use TuxGuitar that will convert to midi it also has a batch converter under the Tools menu.
And as mentioned you can load Guitar Pro Tabs in Ample VST's and the free Ample and drop the phrases into RapidComposer and it will play all the GP articulations over any chord or octave.

You have Midi Mutator that is included in RapidComposer or separate.

If you purchase RC you you can download the Beta version, this is being developed day to day with new features added and bugs fixed.
Attila is there all the time engaging with users.

RapidComposer v4.7b7 is available!

Lots of improvements for MIDI CC editing, and a new melody generator (idea by Chris Caulder) in this update.

Improvements:

Copying/pasting MIDI CC events is possible: "Select all", "Copy selection", "Paste to current time", "Remove selection" added to CC menu
MIDI CC editor rubberbox selection improvements: hold Shift to extend selection vertically to all values
MIDI CC values can be set for multiple events at once
Reset button added to the MIDI CC function generator
Fixed: after an undo in the MIDI CC editor, the tool selection was not restored
New phrase generator: "Melody Generator v2". This works on the scales specified by the chords rather than the master track scale, and has scale tone usage options. Settings were simplified.
Experimental: import chords from MusicXML files (.musicxml or .xml; .mxl files need to be unzipped!). You can drop a MusicXML file to the progression browser. Please note: not all such files include harmony tags, the chords are extracted from the harmony tags!
