In addition, I try to get the song's form finalized before filling in the melody or soloist tracks. If you change the form, BIAB will offer to adjust the melody and soloist tracks to fit. Although you can say yes or no, I often get things mangled whichever I choose. You can move the melody if it winds up in the wrong place toward the end of a song, but this can be challenging when there are repeats or a tag.

I have learned to save often, using slightly different file version names so I can always go back to a version that worked.
