I tend to think of each spot in the BiaB matrix as a cell instead of a bar of music.

So Dave'a approach (above) would have been my first suggestion.

But unless you need to print the music, there is another way.

Consider each BiaB cell as 2 bars of music. Consider the first 2 beats in that cell one bar, and the second 2 beats another.

Which way do I prefer? That depends entirely on the style that I'm using. I use my ears. Some styles seem to sound better with the first method, others with the second.
