The crux of this discussion is architecture and intent. Stating BIAB’s architecture and intent is not misleading. It’s foundational.

BIAB is not built on a DAW-style, fixed-audio, timeline-first architecture. BIAB’s role is to define the structure and parameters, and to generate the music before it ever enters a DAW timeline for editing and polishing. That architectural design cannot be overridden by terminology, expectations, or rhetoric.

Because of that, when discussing transport-based behavior, the transport model should defer to BIAB’s architecture, not DAW conventions. DAW transport behavior is neither required nor inherently clearer in BIAB, and forcing it risks obscuring BIAB’s generative workflow rather than improving navigation.
