You may be using a style that uses swing (triplet) phrasing. You can change the notation from swing style to even values, either for the whole song or measure by measure.
I'm not at a BIAB computer, but I think you can click on the Opt. button and uncheck Triplet Resolution. Or, if you want to change this one measure at a time, right-click in the narrow area just at the top of the Editable Notation screen and you should see the option that will do this. If you have it right, you will see four vertical lines per beat, not three, and each one is a sixteenth note in 4/4.

The notation image in my original post was prepared by setting each beat of only that particular measure to 4 divisions per beat. The rest of the tune was in Triplet Resolution.
Next, I tried un-checking Triplet Resolution. I had to re-adjust all swing 8ths throughout the tune, but I was able to get a fairly good notation of the 16ths (see attached).
I sure wish we could export the midi track to something like Musescore for printing in a full featured notation editor. Maybe one of the next 50 new features added to BIAB 2016.
Dan, unless I'm missing something in your question, you can create a MIDI file from BIAB and load that into any notation program. I do it all the time. All will import MIDI. The only issue is whether adjustments need to be made for Play, Slide Tracks or Melody/Harmony Embellishment. Sometimes quantization in the notation program can't make full sense of it.

I was thinking about the lack of ability to transfer chords symbols to create a lead sheet. Otherwise, I have been using Musescore with BIAB very nicely as you indicate.
Ah, I see now. BIAB can't fix that problem because chords are not supported in the MIDI standard. What BIAB could do is support full Music XML export. That does support chord symbols.
BIAB is already mostly there via Sincy. All we need is the rest of the song, not just the melody. Then you can take the song anywhere. Musescore works because it reads native BIAB files. As far as I know, that is the only notation program to do so. I can't see anyone else spending effort to duplicate that when Music XML already exists to solve this problem.

I am also having an issue with 16th notes. I have been using BiaB off and on for about ten years.
Problem: I have selected a style that is rock (RB_Stev). Triplet resolution has not been checked. I input 16th notes in either "Editable Notation Mode" or "Staff Roll Notation Mode" and the notes show as 16th notes, but everywhere else (e.g. Regular notation mode, when printed, lead-sheet etc), some of the 16th notes get converted to 8th notes.
Let me give a specific example, I am trying to start a song with pick-up notes of 16th rest, 16th note, three 8th notes. This shows correctly in the two edit modes, but than gets converted to four 8th notes elsewhere. (I am working on the start of Stevie Wonder's Superstition.)
Here are several settings that I have toggled back and forth, with no effect on the problem: Snap to Grid Lines 3 or 4 bars/screen Engraving Spacing Minimize Rests Detect Fine Resolution
I have actually had similar problems in songs set to triplet resolution in that BiaB does not show actual triplets when created in the two edit modes.
There are a lot of variables, so I think it would be easier if we could work with your song. You could put it in a Dropbox public area and post a link to it here. Could you also tell us what year and build of BIAB you are using (from Help, About).
