_BGBAND8 works alright with the tracks on halftime it will reduce the chord duration by half, generate, then expand the chord duration x2. So that's basically doing what I was doing in Reaper. If users from the bluegrass communities could record some UserTracks instruments 8th notes, tempo ranges from 160-220+.
Here's the current Bluegrass RealTracks Ev16 Tempo 100-140 (Ev8 200-280).

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."
