First post after a year? Welcome to the Forum.

I don't think there is anything different you can do unless you enter one part in the Melody track and the other in the Soloist track.

New users of BIAB often are surprised at the automation involved in note entry. It does take some getting used to, but I think it's the easiest way to enter notation I have encountered. Yes, often adjustments need to be made through some editing. You can use the staff roll mode as you say, or you can right-click on the note in the editable notation mode, giving you more precise control over the length.
