Musocity, you're another example of molding BIAB to your workflow instead of adjusting your workflow to how BIAB operates.
The way you made the change in your demonstration does go back to Bar 1 and starts.
However,
when doing it that way, regenerate and the screen goes to Bar 1, pause play, scroll to bar 198 and hit the spacebar to play from 198.
Alternately,
you can change bar 198, Select the play from bar icon in the Transport Toolbar, input bar 198 and play will begin at bar 198.
or,
Change the chord in Bar 198 and move the curser back a few bars and double click and play will begin. There you go - Options.
So,
It is not mandatory to start playing from the start and it is not mandatory that you have to listen to the same strumming pattern all the way to 198.
