Using BiaB v1109, with DAW Plugin v6.0.13.
While using the DAW Plugin in Reaper, I enable/check the "Send to REAPER" option to "Use REAPER Instructions" as well as "Send Tracks After Generating:". Then I click the Generate button at the top of the plugin. After the generation, all the tracks are indeed inserted into their own tracks in Reaper. However, throughout the whole song, on all generated tracks, there are time gaps inserted. When solo'ing these time gaps, there are obvious audio 'clicks' (because of the gaps).
(see attachment)
I can see that there a hundreds of media items strung together in a linear fashion to constitute an audio track, but there are several time gaps between some of these media items, per track.
I am new to the concept of sending lossless "instructions" to Reaper to play the audio.
Why is that happening?

If I uncheck the option to Use REAPER Instructions, the actual audio *.wav file is generated and placed within Reaper and there are no gaps, which is preferred anyway. So I understand that Reaper Instructions are "faster" but at what cost? Time Gaps?

Try Preferences > Item Fade Defaults
There are plenty of Actions to set these
SWS: Set item fades to default length (selected items)
It you Ctrl+A it will select all items then run action or select first item then shift click last item on track

PG could add these in to the .di data file Biab makes, this is default fade size .010 ms, try whatever works the best.

Code
    <ITEM
      POSITION 4.01291666666667
      SNAPOFFS 0
      LENGTH 2.0125
      BEAT 1
      SOFFS 158.012916666667
      PLAYRATE 1 1 -2 -1 0 0.0025
      <SOURCE VIDEO
        FILE "E:\bb\RealTracks\Bass, Electric, BritInvasion Ev 120\BS1681.wav"
      >
      FADEIN 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
      FADEOUT 1 0 0 1 0 0 
    >
Don't forget to add the stretch markers also so it will fit any varying tempo map, you will need to work them out.
You need to add: IMPLIEDWARP 1
with the stretch markers
the stretch marker fade amount is best @ 0.0 as you don't get any clicks or glitches of sustained notes
PLAYRATE 1 1 2 -1 0 0

this is the default stretch marker fade amount @2.5
PLAYRATE 1 1 2 -1 0 0.0025
