I haven't managed to find out how to do "stuff like 4,4,4,8" - the number of bars per line in the leadsheet seems to accept only one value.

It looks as though the common factor in the faulty files is that the end-repeat mark doesn't come at the end of a line in the leadsheet.



In the Lead sheet Options found by pressing Opt in the Lead Sheet Window (Alt W), there is a line for 'Fakesheet bars/line'. To get your last line in the score to go to the end of a line, you would specify an exact layout as desired. Since the default is 4, it is pretty easy to play with the last line. For example, a song with a 4 bar intro and 18 bar chorus could be specified as 4,4,4,4,6. If you want the score to go back to 4 bars/line after the chorus, type 4,4,4,4,6,4. This is how I've gotten around MOST of the songs that have the problem.

Keep us posted if you get any feedback. I think the answer I got was BIAB is not primarily a music score program.
