You hafta mess with that offset box # in order to get it to start correctly. If it is starting at bar 8, and should be starting at bar 5, you need to use a negative number in the offset box -3 to line it up.

Or, open the midi file in a sequencer and delete the bars prior to the melody tack, then move the melody to bar 1 and save it. Then try importing it into the melody channel in Biab.

Once you get it imported correctly, no need to cut and paste etc, if you have the song laid out correctly like the midi file.

It is trial and error, but works a treat.
