For me, this is really the only glaring weakness in how BiaB helps me fill out the music I hear in my head.

I gave up on that years ago. Again the DAW plug-in is my friend. Otherwise, I export the Audiophile tracks and edit the "push" as you call it in Digital Performer.

In this recent example, I used BIAB _OLDBOP.STY. Measures were set 4 beats to a bar but I needed the occasional 6, syncopation was not possible except in the piano and some of the bass. The descending bass notes were flat out wrong for a minor key. All were easily fixed in Digital Performer but I didn't use the plug-in—I really liked the sounds. I used Pure DSP inside DP to fix the bass instead of Melodyne or ZTX as it was faster and I wanted the bass to sound more like I did before my stroke. A friend had laid an acoustic rhythm I liked but in the wrong key so I cut the BIAB drums to match his feel while keeping the bass/piano/rhythm guitar in the same relative position to the drums. I did stretch some of the bass notes and a few piano chords to cover the spaces but only when that was audible.

I was going to edit the hard bop guitar solo but I just cut out parts where I didn't want it. I'd planned the track as a throwaway to be replaced later but the client loved it as-is. Ok... his dime.

Anyway, this is 56 seconds and you should be able to see what I did. Descending order: Metronome/click, Drums, Bass, Guitar 1 (rhythm), Piano, Guitar 2 (lead).
