Overall, I am concerned about the ties in biab, or lack thereof, because aren't ties, linking one note to the second note suppose to sound like a continuation of the 1st note? So if biab decides not to put a tie in the biab sheet music, when the tie is originally there on the existing sheet music....do u see my point?
Thanks,

Shannon, I missed answering part of your request.
The curved line joining notes together has two very specific functions:
1:
If the curve joins two notes of the same pitch, it is referred to as a Tie, and the second note is
not played, but the time of the
first second note is added to the first note (the length of play is extended).
2:
If the curve joins two notes of
different pitch, the second note is played, but the line identifies a 'slur', indicating that all of the notes contained within the slur should be played smoothly, connectedly, 'legato' in style.
In your example, we have been referring to "ties", so the second note should definitely not play.
Are you seeing 'tied' notes in your notation, and the second note
on the same pitch also plays?
If so, can you send the BiaB Song file (PM me if required). It will be interesting to investigate.
Cheers
Trevor
