I've never tried that so I can't give you a definite answer but I don't think there would be any problem. The one exception would be the time sig if the reciepient doesn't have your style. Say it's a jazz waltz, or any other non 4/4 time sig, s/he doesn't have the style and lets Biab use the default zzjazz style. Well, that style is in 4 so the chart would be wrong. I would simply change the songs to one of the old original all midi styles, don't let biab do the auto replacement of the drum track with an RD, do a 'save as' and store them in a separate directory. Then you know there's no problems because everybody should have those old styles.

If you also want them to hear a good arrangement of the song you can always create a WMA from within Biab of your new hot version with all the latest stuff and send that along with the old style for the leadsheet. Or, you can do the leadsheet yourself, save as a pdf and just send that with the WMA file. There's free programs that act as a printer but it's not, it saves as a pdf. Lots of ways to accomplish this.

Oh, as to your funny old English expression, we can discuss that over cocktails if you'd like...
