I haven't come across someone attempting this before, so I am not aware of an export setting made for this, but I'll ask some colleagues and get back to you.
In the meantime, I think I've come up with a pretty good method.
It involves totally destroying most of your hard work and then undoing it, which can be a little scary, so it's not for the faint of heart.
So, open the Song Form Dialogue (in the Tools section). Let's imagine you just want to export bars 9 to 12. In the first unused section (A if you aren't using sections), under Bar #, you'd put 9, and under # of Bars you'd put 4. That would make section A consist of bars 9 to 12. Then in the form section at the bottom of that window, just input A, and click Ok- Generate form. Now your song is just those bars in section A and everything else has been deleted. AAAAH! It's ok, we can undo that after we export.
Export your song as a WAV file, and once it's done, hit undo (ctl-z on PC, command-z on Mac). That will undo the change to the song form and revert it back to its original form, bringing back all that stuff you lost. Repeat as necessary.
I hope that works for you, and I'll get back to you when I find out more.
I consulted with some colleagues, and it turns out there is a WAY simpler method of doing this.
If you have a range of bars selected (shift+click to select multiple) when you are exporting, it will only export those selected bars. You'll know they're selected if they're highlighted in black.
So it was pretty fun getting creative to solve that issue in a weird way, but it was also totally unnecessary. Oh well, it's not about the destination, it't about the lessons we learn along the way, right?
Thanks, Trev. I misread David's post. I interpreted "multiple" and "range of bars" as two different things not the same. For example: select bars 5 to 8 and then, while keeping these selected, select bars 17 to 22.
Ahhh, I see. Yes, I hadn't thought of that, but re-reading, it was certainly possible to interpret it that way. (I was also a little surprised that you couldn't do it . Silly me <ha ha> )

can I specify which exact bars of audio I want biab to export?
{ as wave file}
2. If not, any known workarounds?
thanks
For your second question To me the safest workaround would be exporting the whole thing as an audio file, then trimming that as needed .. but as others mentioned, in recent versions you should be able to accomplish this.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
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."
