So something that might be handy to know is this technical note in Chapter 9 of the manual about the Soloist in regards to harmony:

Quote
The Soloist has its own separate channel and settings. But when the Soloist uses a harmony, it becomes linked to the Thru Harmony channels and settings. Since we are already using 12 of the available 16 MIDI channels in Band-in-a-Box, we didn’t want to use up another 2 channels on dedicated Soloist Harmony channels. So, if you want to hear a Soloist with harmony, use the THRU Harmony settings. In other words, wherever a Thru harmony is selected, the Soloist track will use the Thru Harmony settings.

With that in mind, my clarifying question becomes: are you trying to record your own MIDI for the harmony or are you trying to have Band-in-a-Box generate it for you? And if you want it separate from the melody and on the track that's dedicated for the soloist in particular, then the Soloist dialogue may be your answer as it has its own harmony options. Find the SOL button, then the second option in the drop down which is Open Soloist Dialogue to choose MIDI or RealTracks Soloist.

Otherwise, you can do what the others have mentioned in regards to copy/moving tracks around for the different parts until you build-up the sound you like. There is also the option of changing your channels under Options | Preferences | Channels temporarily, but that's not personally an option I like using only because I am forgetful and often don't remember to change it back.

You mentioned—and correct me if I am misunderstanding—that the process you are using requires the harmony be on the Melody track in particular. Is that because you used the Melodist feature or generated it to the Melody track already? It may be helpful for us to know exactly how you created the Melody/Harmony and what each of your steps were so that the best method for what you're trying to achieve can be isolated. Having the full picture can be really useful information. Though generally speaking I do find that the Copy/Move options the others mentioned is the quickest and fastest way to move things around.
