Graham,
To me one of the better things BIAB does is the solo feature especially for the complicated chord passages on many of the things I enjoy playing. It is always giving me new licks to learn. It's amazing! It never hits a wrong note.
BIAB also is the best for using the create an intro feature. In jazz nothing swings right off the bat like having the rhythm section with a pedal bass vamp on the 2nd and 4th beat for a four bar turn-a-round. Every time I hear that bouncing rhythm, I want to jam. It works on any bouncy tune.
The Real Book has about 1000 tunes with chords and melody parts that can be printed out in sheet music form. I love it.
It even does a good job on three chord rock solos and such.
