Chris,

I use BIAB to create leadsheets a lot, but had a lot of frustration early on because there are several variables that have to be set correctly to get the result you need, and the settings are not always where you expect them to be.

My standard layout is:

4 bar introduction
32 bar chorus, played four times
a tag ending

From the Lead Sheet Window I hit the Opt. button, and make sure that "Fadesheet include ending bars" is ticked.

Back at the Lead Sheet Window I hit the Print button, and chose the "Whole Song" radio-button.

I now hit the "OK -Preview/Graphics" button to check how my leadsheet looks, and I tweak the number of staves per page to get if necessary. Sometimes there's a single orphaned stave on a second page, and it's possible to squeeze it all into one page.

I'm not sure how many of these settings are saved with the individual MGU file, and how many with the BIAB settings which persist when BIAB is shut down and re-started.

What would be handy when compiling a library of leadsheets for a band would be a way of automating the production of Concert, Bb and Eb copies (for example), but I haven't worked out a way of doing this (yet?).

If this doesn't work for you, get back to me - I may have missed out an essential step somewhere.
