There are two main "types" of Chord Tracks currently available in BIAB.
1 - activated in settings and pointed to particular track - it always "picks up" any changes you are making to chords automatically
2 - Generated on any track per right click. It takes current arrangement chords and creates MIDI block chords. It will not pickup changes automatically, but is fully editable.

Both types (auto and single use) have separate purposes.

There is more to that, but this is essential purpose of these. Range rules, certain modified simplification, and manually set range preservation makes them very distinct from your average MIDI track.
Thanks for the education, but my point still remains. It just how you are using the MIDI track.
