No, I don't think I believe it. grin In all this time you don't know the answer to this?*.

*... no offense intended, just having a bit of a giggle as I follow this whole thread. grin

I don't mind people poking fun at me at all. That's why I deliberately included my tagline. smile

First I must say, that I am NOT a regular BIAB user. If was I probably wouldn't be asking all of these questions.
My typical BIAB usage goes like this. I'll be on a BIAB usage mode (as I currently am in now) for a few weeks or month or so. Then I won't use the program for a year or two or more.
Then I'll come back to it, usually upgrade while I'm at it and rinse and repeat.
Use it for a few weeks/months and put it away for a year/two etc.

When you use it like this, it's almost impossible to remember all the things you learned from before, and things are always changing as you know.

Second, BIAB has settings-itis. Translation: too many settings for things that should be set as default.

It is my view that when a user inputs a chord (using RealTracks) that chord should sound, not a variation of that chord. Imagine if you were a composer and you went to listen to the debut of your work with a symphony orchestra and they started to alter your chords! You would be outraged!

My questions,
"How do you tell BIAB to play specific chords and not stray from them?
Is there a setting in BIAB for this?"

were very serious.

From Andrew's latest reply, it doesn't appear there is one setting that you could "set and forget"
that would allow you to do this.
BIAB will continue to throw variations of the chords you input.
When it is important that certain chords be played as input, he has given various options
to try, to get the chords sounding correctly.

My guess is that 90% + of BIAB users can't even hear the difference between the chords we are discussing and so this is a non-issue for them.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) I can hear the difference. frown
