That's exactly correct PW. It drives me crazy too sometimes and I've complained about it both here in the main forum and in the Wishlist forum where is where problems go that you would like to see corrected.

Every year or two I'll get involved with some new players and I always tell them I can do up some charts for tunes that are not in any of the books I have. I always use Biab for that and most of the time it's fine, I can make it work but sometimes like this situation you're describing I can't make Biab do what I want. I'll mess with it for longer than I should just because I'm a geek about this stuff but finally I do the workaround we all will use occasionally.

That is to visualize how you want your chart to actually look and simply enter the chords exactly like that. This is NOT the way the song will play, it's simply the way you want the chart to look and then you print it and handwrite in your 1st/2nd endings lines and numbers, A, B, C symbols, DS and coda sign, etc. Trust me this is much faster than busting your head trying to make the program do it.

As to why can't Biab do this in the first place I have no answer to that. Things like this have been talked about for as long as I've been posting here and afaik nothing new has been added to the print functions in that time. They give us some decent basic functions but Biab is not marketed a competitor for a $600 notation program and that's basically it.
