You can trick midi into many types of transitions, but RT's are different. I can see that it's technically possible, but musically it will unlikely to sound realistic (the muscle of BIAB). Likely, it will sound like loop chops, or transitions will not be natural.
Partial regeneration is the key to do this stuff, as it allows to modify sections, without loosing other regeneration(s) on the same track. It remains semi-frozen. So for example, if you want to change a part you will just work on that track's segment and swap out the whole track in DAW.

P.S. Off topic, but have you experimented with Track View selection and Ctrl+F8 partial regen?
Hi Rustyspoon,

I kind of understand what you are referring to with the transitions and how the algorithm operates to smooth things out, (one of my favorite features of BiaB, btw, how the bars "communicate with each other" contextually, if you will). But I'm not sure that it's relevant here because I'm talking about dragging and dropping time selection(s) once a part is already generated and you are already satisfied with it. That is, if I have a song that I am mostly finished arranging/mixing in Reaper, but I decide that I want to change a strum pattern over 4 specific measures to shots or held chords, or add pushes, etc, I can simply go back to the BiaB song "template" that I generated all the tracks on before exporting to Reaper to work on, and then regenerate those 4 measures, if that makes sense.

FWIW, you can kind of do that via the drop station, but I think it would be great to have the option to make a time selection in audio view or on the chordsheet, and then drag and drop it directly into Reaper such that it would render to audio inside Reaper as soon as you complete the action.
