You can use 2 Plugins to get over 255 bar limit but there maybe a way to do it natively now it's playing the track data direct.
bbw2 does that for Realband.
More bars would allow the Plugin Standalone to be used as a Live Arranger generating up the different chord sections for the chosen Style then being able to smooth seek to the bar of Midi imputed keyboard chord.
If it's used as a DAW Plugin the played sections can be recorded then transferred into the DAW as the song.

If you generate up a Style with say 4 bars for each chord in A&B (or C&D with tracks from another Style) and you had a midi keyboard input same as Biab has "Window > MIDI Chord Detection" it will go to whatever bar that chord is and loop the 4 bars or go to another chord section with same chord until another chord is entered changing on the bar or beat end (whatever it's set to).
It can also have a choice of Endings.
With the Plugin Standalone these Live Arranger Styles can be all saved frozen with "Save State" just saving as a small SGU only that will instantly load "Load State" and play, just like changing tape sets in your Mellotron.
If they give the Plugin more bars than 255 like RealBand it will give more material for the Live Arranger.
With the live tempo now you can change bpm so easy on the fly.

You can have a Live Arranger Mode button on the Plugin Standalone.
You just need to add other section colors to wok with a multi style or to create custom track sections, like with just one instrument playing.
more bars than 255 for Arranger mode,
more 4 bar endings with a color part marker
midi input chord detection and keyswitch settings
midi input synth option for right hand notes

With the "Save State" this is good to allow users to make up their unique Style/key for the Live Arranger, solo tracks can be muted if not needed.
I think this is something that can be done now with not much work.
I have shown it all working in that terrible Reaper, as Reaper detected a midi chord input it went to a region that corresponded with that chord name and part color in the Plugin smoothly and seamlessly and just looped that region until a new chord was entered.
