I would try the RealTrack Medley Maker feature to fix the bad chords by using some of the available slots to create a single arrangement of the Brent Mason fingerpick acoustic guitar track combination. I've attached a screenshot.
I would approach the current issue you have shown with bars 7,13,22,and 26 by opening that track with the Audio Editor, highlighting those bars and selecting the 'Fix Sour Notes' option from the Edit Menu.
I've attached the help file description of the Fix Sour Notes feature and another image of the RealTrack Medley Maker set to change slots every two bars with each slot occupied by the same Brent Mason Solo guitar. It will sound seamless but BIAB is regenerating that instrument every two bars.
Charlie Fogle and Jim Fogle offered completely different solutions to fix a badly generated RealTrack so it can be used in professional productions.
After some extensive testings, I decide to go with Jim Fogle's solution.
Charlie Fogle recommended the Medley feature, which is a useless feature. Medley's function is to stitch/connect different RealTracks into one track with transitions, which can be easily achieved by putting multiple RealTracks on different utility tracks, then using Volume Automation feature to play/mute each RealTrack as needed. Putting the same RealTrack into the Medley slots doesn't make it generate better, it's equivalent to an automatic full track regeneration.
Charlie Fogle also recommended "Fix Sour Notes", which is somewhat useless too. "Fix Sour Notes" is like AutoTune for RealTracks, it can do some pitch shifting on out-of-tune notes in order to force a RealTrack to play according to a chord or a key signature, or both. However, it can not fix problems if a RealTrack play different octaves, or different arpeggio styles, etc. Like stated in my previous post.
Quote:
In Bar 22, the chord is in the wrong octave, notes are an octave higher than Bar 21 & 23, doesn't fit in between. In Bar 26, the chord is in the wrong play style, it plays much more notes than Bar 25 & 27, musically sounds bad.
Jim Fogle's solution is primitive and savage, but most efficient. Don't let BiaB do the cherry picking, do it yourself! Import a RealTrack wma file to ACW, detect the chord, then use a DAW to cut, pick, and combine the needed chords to a loop.
PG Music doesn't want to share chord sequence of each RealTrack with users, so the users have to figure out the chord mapping sequence by themselves using ACW.
Hope one day PG would reconsider.

Get RapidComposer now for only $119 , Melodya and MIDI Mutator for $29, Syne for $53! RapidComposer full edition orders receive free upgrade to v5.0 and free Melodya and MIDI Mutator licenses (please contact us, licenses sent manually).
The first beta version is available now! I made sure everything is tested and working but I am sure there will be bugs...
This installer does not overwrite any v4 files, so your existing v4 installation is not affected. All installed files include "V5" in the name. You'll need to enter your v4 license key.
Notes:
The RC VST plug-in has been dropped in future versions. VST instruments are still supported. The Windows files are 64-bit only. On macOS v5 will require at least macOS 10.12.
All changes summarized since v4.7.3:
New flexible rhythm generator: 'Rhythm Lab' makes several old rhythm generators obsolete All phrase generators use 'Rhythm Lab' by default. Default settings were revised. New phrase generator: "MIDI Transformer". Drop a MIDI file to this phrase generator (in the inspector) to create a new phrase of similar style. This phrase generator creates absolute notes because it forms new chords! 'DAW view' added with optimized display for working in the composition globally as in a DAW. Select and move phrases in multiple tracks, use rubberbox selection in multiple tracks, drop multi-track MIDI files, etc. Ghost tracks added, with 'unghost' option. Ghost tracks contain all phrases of the original track, rendered with or without the original track variations Reworked/simplified phrase resizing. Shift-drag edge to scale, Ctrl-drag edge to repeat/crop. Dragging the edge means scaling for normal phrases and regenerating for phrase generators Scales may contain additional notes, so the special "major set", "minor set", "major/minor set" scales are properly represented Variation presets CC envelope browser. Save and reuse your favourite envelopes Contributed phrases are installed too, and loaded in a few seconds Velocity editor added to 'Manual Editing' UI improvements Separate folders created for each file type under Documents/RapidComposerV5: no more DB folder Lots of internal rework, optimizations and bug fixes
This topic is about RapidComposer v5 beta versions. The old v4 beta topic is locked.
The beta version is available to all RapidComposer owners, so this is not a public beta. The beta version is usually solid for serious work, but there may be smaller bugs in new functionality. It includes the latest bug fixes, and new features, sometimes months ahead of the release.
Download
The download URL has not changed since v4. You need to add the word "beta" to the download URL. E.g. the URL xyz.php becomes xyzbeta.php. I will gladly send the URL to any RapidComposer owners by request (PM or e-mail).
Installation
Execute the installer. This new version uses the Documents/RapidComposerV5 folder. Your v4 settings are not imported. You'll need to enter your license key (v4 key at the moment). If you cannot locate it, please send me an e-mail.
Installation does not overwrite any previous RapidComposer installation! Version 4 and 5 may coexist on the same computer. V5 application and plug-ins have V5 in the name, e.g. RapidComposerV5.app, RapidComposerV5.vst3
Updates
Updates are posted in this topic from time to time. It is possible to check for updates under the Support tab. Click on "Check for beta version updates".
I just updated the Ample Tele to 3.7.0 to try it out. That's why I did it in RapidComposer as it gave more control than Riffer. I can just drop the phrases from Riffer or Guitar Pro Tab Player into RC, convert to relative form with keyswitches and it will fit over any scale or chord. You can add controllers to the phrases and save them. In the Edit Phrases mode you can add pitch bend controller at the bottom and draw to bend or copy the controller from the main track and paste.
I was using Ample ages ago and they were very slow to fix things like more bars import. I showed them how to make it with a chord track years before EZBass, but the were too slow.
Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
