You should be able to introduce a 'stop' of the type you are seeking by entering two periods after the chord: C.. This is known as a Shot. It won't stop the song, but it will stop the instruments playing for that chord until another chord is located.
A chord can be specified as a Held Chord by adding three periods after the chord. C...

hello Videotraack did you listen to my sample link? the stop must occur in the third division of the second triplet.
Yes, I listened and I read what you wanted, and that's why I wrote: "Because BiaB only allows 4 beat resolution..."
Good luck, but it's my belief that the current version of BiaB (and probably all future versions too) won't do what you want. Others more skilled than I might know more.
You could write your own MIDI?

I'm not at my music machine right now, but I guess the real question is whether you can do a shot on a pushed chord (seems that was asked before, but don't remember the answer).
Anyway, the thing to do is to put a caret (^) in front of the chord to push it an 8th note to the left and then put two dots on the chord to play a shot. So you would have:
Cm ^G7..
Of course, because as has been pointed out, BIAB only allows four slots for chords, you can't enter a new chord until beat four, so beat three would just be the fade of the shot. Hope that made sense. Give it a try and see if it works. And keep in mind that some Realtracks play pushes better than others.

The Cm should go on beat 1 (per your original chord sheet) and the G7 (assuming that's the correct chord for the shot) should be entered on beat 3 (first part of the 2nd cell) with the push and the two dots (i.e. ^G7..)
Not sure if it will work correctly, but that's the first thing I would try.

I wondered also about the Push, but the documentation shows 1/8th or 1/16th push options where the O/P wants a 1/12th. I don't know what happens with triplet timings. Yes, it's worth experimenting.

You could also do a 16th note push (two carets ^^), which based on listening to the sample that seemed to delay the shot just a little, might be a little closer to the desired result, but obviously won't exactly be on a tripletized boundary of the beat.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
