I often have tunes with Head changes and Solo changes that are different. My solution to this is to write the Head melody as in Intro, then the Solo changes are the main repeating chorus (intentionally without melody).
Then, I want an Head Out chorus identical to the Head In, so I create it as a Tag. I do this by copying the Intro bars (melody+changes) to the bar to start the tag.
Everything copies fine when I do this, but BIAB resets the ending of the chorus to the tag ending bar. Not sure why. Since this is not what I want, I reset the chorus ending bar back to the correct end of Solo chorus.
When I do this, BIAB erases the melody in TAG ending. Why does this happen? Do I need to change the order of doing things? I can hand enter the melody again in the TAG, but why can't I just copy it in?

Me too!
I did exactly the same thing yesterday, as I have done many, many times before. You would think that I would learn but it seems such a logical thing to do. In a way, I am pleased that other users have exactly the same experience because I have always thought I must be particularly stupid in having to rewrite the melody in the tag instead of copying it from the first chorus.

If I read it right, if you have a tune with head and xChorses for soloing( different Chords) and then head out, It will be one big leadsheet?? If it is then it can't have a tag ending?? Because it isn't really a 'Tag' You can only have a 'Tag' with the repeat function being used.

I'm not sure I follow you. I am using the repeating Chorus feature for the solo choruses. I am aware that for a song with one chorus, you cannot have a Tag. I can create the Tag just fine. I can even hand-enter my melody into the Tag.
I can successfully Copy my melody into the TAG, but BIAB then assumes that the TAG is now to be included in the main chorus. Since this is not what I want, I reset the chorus to end where I want it, and the melody in the Tag disappears.

Even managed to get BiaB to do exactly what you have described above, eg erase the melody line in the Tag. It does sound like it might be a bug, I use the term lightly as it could still be my user error. But it is just as easy to use one big chord sheet to achieve the same thing, plus you can still c+p chords/melody to where you need them. Perhaps someone else has the definitive answer to this.

I have had the same problem, and I get REAL frustrated with it.
>>>..."But it is just as easy to use one big chord sheet to achieve the same thing"...>>>
Yeah thats what I do - EDIT > UNFOLD. This seems to take BiaB's discretion away so that I can save whatever I want in the tag.
Is there some logic behind why tags work this way? Or fail to work...?
