Please Peter, to get up to the 21st century, can we have the ability to save or export in XML format? Right now I have to open a BIAB file in MuseScore, then export as XML to get to Sibelius. Would love to be able to do this directly and probably more accurately from BIAB.
If not that, a way to export to Sibelius.

The XML export from MuseScore leaves a lot to be desired.

Yes it does, Matt, it's a poor substitute for being able to export directly from BIAB.

More and more music applications are implementing MusicXML for compatibility. Even for backwards version compatibility. For example, you can open a Finale Printmusic file in Finale 2012, but you can't do the reverse, since PrintMusic is a 2011 version; however, you can save the Finale 2012 file as MusicXML and read it into just about any previous version of Finale (including PrintMusic, SongWriter, etc) and it will display properly.
Given that notation in BIAB/RealBand is fairly basic to start with, I would imagine that it wouldn't be that difficult to do the translation to MusicXML.

Kind of disappointed  , 2014 gives us compatibility with a vocal processor to sing the lyric lines but no xml for exporting notation. Can someone explain that one?

I haven't got 2014 yet, but I did really hope that this feature would have been there...

Dan, I'm hoping this is a first step. The BIAB output to Sinsy in version 2014 is Music XML, which I was able to load into Sibelius and Musescore.

Now that is indeed encouraging.

Well, MusicXML support would be useful.
It should be not much a problem to program that code.
Also there should be implemented the whole MusicXML DTD as possible additions to the notation window. You should be able to put notes and every other type of signs in a score editor, like it is in Musescore.
Musescore is in GNU General Public License. So you could even use the source code from it to implement it into BIAB.
Regarding Sinsy: Maybe there should be a possibility to involve the Vocaloid software as well, because those vocals sound much better that Sinsy.

It should be not much a problem to program that code. Famous last words.  Musescore is in GNU General Public License. So you could even use the source code from it to implement it into BIAB. Except then BIAB becomes GNU, by extension. Not going to happen. Regarding Sinsy: Maybe there should be a possibility to involve the Vocaloid software as well, because those vocals sound much better that Sinsy. Until Yamaha decides to publish the standard, that's not likely to happen. People have reverse engineered the Vocaloid format, but that's not quite the same thing. Plus, there's no nice way to integrate BIAB with Vocaloid, even if you knew the file format.

In terms of difficulty or time? Anyway, it's definitely not a simple job to do. Have you ever had a look at the specs? Nonetheless I would appreciate MusicXML support very much. So +1 from me for MusicXML as export format.
