Just found a program thanks to Noel96 that opens BIAB files and will then allow you to save as a music.xml format file which can then be opened in Sibelious and I assume Finale. Now that is my one big wish for the next version of BIAB is to be able to save files as music.xml. Maybe even a batch file save.


<<Noel, you just made my year!!!! I saw your mention of MuseScore so I downloaded it to take a look even though I use Sibelious. I found that after opening my BIAB files (a real feat by itself), I can then export to the new .xml format (beta), which I can then import into Sibelius and voilà! I not only get the melody, which I can get with a simple midi file from BIAB, but also the chord symbols. Great!!!! This will save me a ton of time.

Maybe the new version of BIAB will have a save to .xml or export to .xml feature but until then, this is fantastic. Thanks for the info.>>
