Funk.

ok i see.. as i suspected your trying to add content to an
existing song.
let me say upfront even with the state of current software engineering in music apps ive seen no perfect solution.
(i used to develeope big industry apps.)

in summary i admire your persistence cos this isnt trivial work.
i'm a happy go lucky fun bloke with tons of patience but sometimes one has to accept a ton of work is needed to reach ones goals with some songs.

ive failed many times in adding new content to old songs of mine that people like that were originally produced on tape.
i find particularly the small tempo variances of tape can be an issue...more in fact than stem splitting which i find works rather well.
(depending on the song).

frankly i fail many times because i'm trying to preserve the original song 'vibe' and 'sound picture' that people have told me they like while adding new content and ensuring i dont lose that original vibe.
in summary ive got lots of old songs here that i just cant get right adding new content to....bugs the heck out of me.
maybe i'm a dunce...lol...

given what you, i, and others are trying to do i think at the software engineering level there needs to be integration of the acw with the stem splitting feature.
ie.. one feeds into the software the old song and the software spits out the chords plus varying tempo map plus the stems....and then the user does minor 'cleaning up'.

the ONLY solution i can suggest at this time and given how much work youve done in bb is to just use rb for audio editing.
ie drag a track from bb into rb...do the editing...and then send it back to bb.

frankly given the complexity at this level i think due to rb's capability for fractional tempo handling and track editing and other features...
(bars view and the way rb tracks view works plus 256 tracks...to cite a few examples...)
that from git go it might have been better to try doing the shebang in rb.
maybe on another song you might try useing rb from git go and see if its an easier alternative.


in closeing let me say from my experiences in software engineering imho the software tech is getting there these days but isnt perfected
and might never be perfect....we shall see.


i wish you the best and admire the effort your putting into
this.


happiness.
