I use irealb but like has been mentioned, no melodies. Adding melodies to an app like that by the app developer would be problematic because of copyright issues.

I gave up on notation in biab probably around 2008. I found it to difficult to work with. Maybe it has improved since them.

What I have done is notate in Sibelius and then import to Biab. That should illustrate how difficult I find notating in BIAB.


The app developer should not add melodies, that's up to the users, so he has not to worry about the copyright. "Mac" (see his post) does use both for notation and he still uses BB also for simple stuff since it is faster. BB is far from complete but for simple stuff it can be rather quick and dirty, but it will do for gig musicians. What I do is import the PDF prints into forScore and add manually missing (or to small printed) stuff and comments by annotations. Very cute app.

Musicians and music publishers are still wasting too much paper...come on men we live in the digitised age...Wake up!
