My point exactly Charlie. BIAB is already a one stop shop.
By "Top and tail", I mean scrub the count in and possibly fade the ending.

You can truly make BIAB a one stop shop. BIAB can scrub the count-in several ways and there are at least 3 ways to fade the ending.
BIAB can be directed to scrub the drums and count-in when the song is rendered
The beginning can be trimmed using the Audio Edit Window to highlight and delete the selection
Ways to Fade the final render:
Manually use the Mixer Track volume button while recording the song externally
Open the Song Settings (Ctrl-N) and set the number of bars to fade
Open the Audio Edit Window and select the Master Track and use volume automation to fade the ending
Using the Audio Edit Window, there will not be a visible WAV form for the Master Track regardless if the track is MIDI or audio. Volume automation still works normally, Simply note the numbers for the first and last bars you want to fade - in a 32 bar song that would be bars 29-31
From the Master Track in the Audio Edit Window, automate a volume fade beginning at bar 29 and end the fade at bar 31.
