I've written chords. But there are often sounds that feel discordant with the chord. How to avoid these sounds that are not harmonious with chords? I recorded a video. Pay attention to the piano sound at the 19th bar
The only way to get exactly what you want is to either edit audio in a program like Melodyne or to edit MIDI in the piano roll view or the notation view.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

As amazing as this program is, there are times when it simply will not give you what you want. Those times require you to think out of the box.
I have often used copy and paste.... I will find that chord in a different location in the song where it is rendered correctly and copy it from there and paste it into the wonky chord's place. I should note that this is done most often in the mixing stage while working in my DAW Sonar.
In Real Band, you can do similar things AND.... I believe you can force RB to regenerate just a small portion of the track.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

After listening to your file, I would say the chord the player played is not at all 'discordant', it's just a little flair with a quick G chord for interest. To my ear it is completely harmonious with the chords you wrote.
Something discordant there would be a C# chord etc. but what the artist played is in my opinion very tasteful and even necessary to avoid sameness.
If you don't like it, audio editing may be the answer here, and you swap out that bar for another.

One mans dissonance is another mans spice. Bottom line, that is the way BIAB with its real musicians was designed to play! Edit it in the DAW if you need to.
It's tension and release that add the file to music. For some, the more tension the better, for others and discord at all is unpleasant.
There is a saying, which may help, that no "wrong" note is more than a semitone away from a "right" note.
But as MusicStudent says, RealTracks are one persons approach to that blend of tension and release. If the blend doesn't suit your wants, you may need to change the RealTrack, or you may just be able to calm it down with a calmer chord. Perhaps G instead of G7 or G9 or Gsus4. The problem with doing that too much is that, to many listeners, the sound just becomes boring. It's usually the tension, the dissonance, that gives the zing and makes us go "wow".
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11; Win8.1: Scarletts BIAB2022 UltraPAK, Reaper, a bunch of stuff.
I also had no issues with the performance. I call it 'artistic license' and it creates worthwhile character. Maybe the O/P just expected to hear pure triads of each chord played at regular intervals?

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 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."
