Hmm.

First, AudioTrack is correct.

Second, Dan is correct that you cannot specify chord voicing in BIAB. Having said that:

BIAB supports slash roots but not when the root (the bass note after the slash) is the same as the root of the triad. But you don’t need a slash root here anyway because your bass D is the same as the name of the triad’s root.

While you can’t control what the live musicians recorded, you can do partial regeneration on measures in the hope that one of the variations gives you the inversion you want.

You should also look into Pedal Bass in BIAB.

So what’s the melody like over this chord? There might be other ways to write it depending on the melody note, the genre, and how important it is to have the sound of the second inversion.

Finally, there is no rule that the chord must contain the melody note; it can just support it.
