I use Band in a Box to make leadsheets quite often.

And I own and use TWO different dedicated music notation softwares.

*Making a leadsheet with BiaB is simply much faster to do than the notation softwares allow.

*The notation softwares are based on picking a note duration first for each note entered, then click it on the Staff, then the next note or rest you have to go back to the duration picker and pick the next duration needed, etc. etc. etc. etc. - whereas the Band in a Box method of note-entry has that beautifully designed automatic note duration algo in it that reduces all of that selection and clicking to just clicking on the staff.

*The Band in a Box QWERTY WIZARD method is another fast way to enter for example, the Melody line on a lead sheet.

People who state that BB is used for a certain task only by "most users" do not have enough of a data sample available for them to be able to make such unequivocal statements.

I have no idea what "most" users do with the program, nor does it really matter, because this program has historically been developed in an effort to please as many different kinds of users as possible, a matter which has led some to complain about all the commands, settings, etc. already existent.

The WISHLIST FORUM is where to place requests such as the desire to have an app that will do the tasks mentioned here, and I encourage those who desire such an app to please enter a nice short request for such on that forum.

And if you have already done that, but its been awhile, why not try posting the Wish again?

Or add that big +1 to an existing Wish post, if such already exists.

The request is valid IMO, and also sounds like a good idea to me!
