One is to read the notation most clearly, but not change it. The second is to edit the notation (which does assume one can read it). The third is a piano roll alternative, which is a common way to edit MIDI found in every DAW. The two editing modes make it possible for each user to choose his or her preference. Even though I use the editable notation mode 99% of the time, there have been occasions when I use the piano roll emulation to extend a note because sometimes it's easier to visualize a very long note than to calculate the length numerically.

In general, you will often find that BIAB has more than one way to do something, giving you a choice of ways to work. I think that is a good thing.
