Hi, I just exported a BIAB track 6 midi melody and tried to import it into Free MuseScore because I was under the impression you can import/export freely in both directions and was about to tell a BIAB using friend this. I have MuseScore 3.0.5.5992 and it does not have such an import from what I can tell. Does anyone know if the paid version of MuseScore has this and if it works?
Thanks,
John

Actually I just tried opening that midi file in MuseScore and it took it. It goes the other way too! So solved I guess :-)

There is no paid version of Musescore.
In my experience opening a BiaB in Musescore will only give you the chords. Opening a MIDI file will give you the notation but no chords.
Musescore's open menu list BB files as experimental. I think it was an idea that was not finished.
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

If you export as XML, you can open it in MuseScore and get the notation and the chords.
- as Mario said, if you export MIDI you just get the MIDI (melody and any midi tracks).
Have Fun!

Tried all this between BIAB and Musescore a couple months ago and it was a mess. Are you telling me this has been fixed?

Tried all this between BIAB and Musescore a couple months ago and it was a mess. Are you telling me this has been fixed? Test2: I just redid the export of the BIAB melody track using the save special XML file Peter mentioned and it fixed the issues in the Test1 paragraph below. I chose fake sheet mode. Looks perfect in MuseScore. Cool. Test1: I just redid the MuseScore open of the midi melody out BIAB after I used the (Melody, edit quantize) to make the note start times 100% dead on as determined by the piano roll. MuseScore brought them in 100% accurate but the notation (although it appears to me to be correct) is a bit strange because I assume it does not have a swing notation mode. Instead it places the --3-- brace in those places including on the 1/8th note triplets (not only the 1/4 note triplets). So yes from what I can tell this appears to be working. My test in the other direction was not very elaborate (just 2 bars of 1/4 notes). But it worked.

Saw your comment on MuseScore about no swing mode. I have version 3.3.4.9066, Revision 7684abe and a swing mode is listed (see pg 126 of the associated manual). Indication is that it affects playback mode, but does not have a direct way of notating swing (see below). Not the cleanest, but may be workable:
MuseScore does not have a way to include a triplet in text as a tempo marking, but there is an easy workaround:
1. Add Swing text as described above and make it invisible (shortcut V, or untick "Visible" in the Inspector);
2. Add an appropriate Image of the required tempo marking to the score. These can be downloaded from the bottom of
the "How To" page: How to create a visual swing marking .
3. Resize and reposition the image as required.
Return to straight rhythm
If you want playback to return to straight time after a swing section:
1. Add Swing text to the first note or rest of the "straight" section (see above).
2. Edit the text to indicate a return to straight time: e.g. "Straight."
3. Right-click on the text and select System Text Properties…. Click on the "Swing Settings" tab and set "Swing to "Off."
Apply swing globally
If you wish to apply swing to the whole score, you can do so from the menu: 1. Select Format → Style... → Score.
2. In the "Swing Settings" section, set the desired note value and "swing ratio."
