Part of my work is to compose background music for a corporate video ( mostly talking heads) How do I specify a specific length, say 5 minutes 10 seconds?

I would do that in my DAW. Studio One, in my case. It has a setting for bars, seconds, Samples and frames.
Others here may be able to show you how to do that in BIAB software.
How are you composing the background music?

Usually you have the video to work with. That way you can line up edit points to any changes in the action on the video.
In BB, when you have a song loaded you can see the total run time in the upper right hand corner tool bar. You can then adjust the total measures and the tempo to get the run time you want. Account for the count in and the ending fade but you can get pretty accurate that way. Use time stretch and compression in a DAW to get it precise.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Go to Melody Menu
Click On Generate Soundtrack
Click On Desired Duration
Set Time
It seems to only offer Midi choices.
I loaded in a realtracks song.
The Duration choices didn't seem to work with it; unless you reset the
"Adjust Tempo" button.
Still its a starting point, you could go back to main screen, and change anything you want and still get the right duration for your song.

I made my bones on analog tape. Back then we used a metronome and a stopwatch. My very first digital gear was a stopwatch with a built-in metronome function — not only could I get the track to the exact length but it would generate the downbeats on a different pitch. I was in heaven. My tape machines striped one track to SMPTE time code, a trick I learned at AMPEX where my dad worked and I had interned.
