Did you set the meter in RB? If you move a file over sometimes it comes as a 4/4 time. which if I understand properly BiaB deals with the blues and other stuff. RB requires a little setup since it is a DAW not an auto accompaniment program. BiaB assumes a lot based on the style information. RB can do a lot of that but also can be used to create from scratch even without a style.

While BiaB can handle 12/8 meter blues and stuff like that you end up setting it up at 6/4 which tricks the system by adding a 4/4 bar then a 2/4 bar then rinse and repeat. In RB you can set up the 12/8 meter and add the chords pick a blues style and create from scratch you can start and finish there.

I am sure the PGM folks can explain the process far better than I do. I am sure I am missing stuff I do not fully understand what is under the hood in BiaB. I suggest trying to create a nice project directly in RB start to finish, and be patient with the process and you will see it is a very powerful tool next to BiaB but they each have unique features. It a bit of time but after a while you start to figure out how they complement each other and how they do not.
