Try this: Set the external synth as the main midi driver. Then, in the mixer as described above, set the non-piano tracks to softsynth of choice.

Does not work. I tried that yesterday already. The pop help also states that the main output driver will only be used for MIDI Thru when the VSTi/DXi is enabled/ticked. In this case, it will route input from the piano via MIDI IN back to MIDI Thru and out via the piano driver back to the piano.

I've had a number of conversations with Paul Warren, the originator of MidiRedirect, over the years. Sadly, Paul got tied up with many other projects and did not have the time nor the complier to convert MidiRedirect to 64 bit.
But, I can confirm that it still works fine with jBridge v1.7b3 in the 64 bit version of BIAB 2019.
I typically run MIDI out from BIAB to both of my hardsynths, using the MidiRedirect, and run RealTracks all at the same time in the same song. Running out to your keyboard should be no different. All that you would need would be to have a patch listing for you keyboard in .PAT file form in BIAB to be able to select the patch you want played from the keyboard.
I think i found the problem, that Yamaha doesn't support midi over USB. It seems the USB connection is for controlling internal functions from a tablet or computer but it's not a midi controller. In the Features list it says Midi...No. Check the users manual to be sure.
The VSTi to MIDI redirect VST that Dan pointed you to with a link earlier in this thread is a great solution for this problem. I tested it out and it worked perfectly for playing simultaneously through an external MIDI module and soft synths / RealTracks. It worked with bbw.exe and also bbw64.exe (64bit) via jBridge. You will want to use WAS audio drivers and not MME, otherwise latency will be an issue.
To use, place the .dll in your preferred VST location, for example, C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins. In Band-in-a-Box, open the Plugins window, click on the top drop-down box, select Add VSTi Plugin, and locate the file. Now you can add that plugin to whichever track you want to route to your piano, and it should show the MIDI out port, provided the driver is installed. On Windows 10, driver installation is typically automatic when you plug in a USB device.

Well that don't sound right. I have the file and I put it in a dropbox. Let me try again.
OK, dropbox is just being a total uncooperative pain with a link to a small zip folder which has the .dll and a text file. It is there, and on my desktop, but I cannot seem to download with any of the dropbox links.
If you PM me I am sure I can put the zipped folder in an email and send.
This should work to view and download the zipped folder. You just have to navigate Dropbox. Problems can arise from your antivirus programs or from any number of other securities which exist (google chrome will hold this up and ask if you are sure, before fully downloading). Or PM me for an email.
This is what confuses me about a consumer home keyboard vs a stage keyboard. That Features list I found listed everything that unit has and when I scrolled down to midi it said No. Now the manual talks about drivers and USB to Host? Maybe it will work but any semi pro keyboard makes it clear what it can do by referring to using it as a midi controller acting as a slave or sound module. If it does require a separate driver then make sure it's been installed but normally just plugging in the USB cable is all it takes because modern controllers are class compliant meaning no driver required.

I think they mean NO to MIDI DIN connectors/ports. That would be right since it has USB-MIDI only.

Yes, thank you, I have it and will work on it on the weekend again. Regards Bernt

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
