2...did you want swing ??

Yes, definitely, triplet 'swing eighths'.

3...ok i didnt have any technical hiccups or stumbles here...
its more related to the arrangement of the chords...
am i correct on the e9 chord you want 'da da da'...and followed by f9...
'da da da' again....ie 2 triplet sets ?? e9 followed by f9 ??
ie e9/e9/e9//f9/f9/f9. in one bar ??...// being seperator.

No you don't understand what I am after.
As I explained to Matt, if there was a melody, as jazzers we would simply write a string of eighth notes and nothing more. All jazzers know they are to be played as 'swing eighths' (triplet feel).
The chords that you see on beats 1 and 2 are meant to be played in a triplet feel.
There are only two chords on each beat, not the three you wrote above.
So BIAB please play these two micro chords as triplet feel!

4...frankly ...and matt is way more expert than i...i write songs by feel.
im bad at theory....but one comment i feel is appropo is i think it might be the way the vibes rt works...ie in some ways this is non rigid freeform jazz ?? and thus tracks are not so rigid ??

I have no idea how the vibe tracks work as opposed to any other real track. I do know that Peter's brother Oliver is a jazz musician (maybe Peter is too?) and so they are always conscious of jazz application with their coding.

5...i feel given your triplet need maybe if you want stricter triplets you might use a piano roll or midi kbd to enter the triplets and then quantise. in this case the midi track would drive a plugin set to vibes.
because in this case...the vibes track when i erased the bb audio track bb didnt ask md to keep the midi track...ie there didnt seem to be an associated mici track..i would try a midi supertrack and see if you can get a better triplets result. because try as i might i couldnt get the strict da da da ie e9 followed by da da da ie f9.
i think its just the way the style works....and a stricter triplet midi track might work better.

While midi/midi keyboard etc.might end up giving me the triplet feel I am after you need to know where I am coming from.
First of all, this is not a make or break BIAB song. I could even LEAVE out the triplet chords and it would be OK!
Second, I am more after the principle now, how BIAB works (or doesn't work). If BIAB adds a feature, it should work, out of the box.
Plain and simple.
