>>>...I would like to know if BB be used to write a complete arrangement for a jazz band. Can you create a few tracks and write notation for each part, copy parts from one track to another and see and edit more than one part on the screen....>>>

What you need here is RealBand. Start out in BiaB, get the verses and choruses the way you want the, then open the song in the other program, RealBand. In RB you can add more tracks, edit the notation for each track, copy tracks, etc.

You still cannot have more than one editable track showing at a time.


>>>...Also has the problem with note duration been fixed so that you can easily say what a note is - quarter, eighth etc...>>>

I have not seen this problem.

>>>...What version and/or plugins would you recommend for doing some basic arrangeing and printing...>>>

The sale prices have been extended, so get the latest version.
