Welcome to the forum.

First, terminology. When you read any help files, and they refer to "a chorus", that means once through the song. For example, if the song's form is AABA, then AABA is one chorus. So just keep that in mind. We do understand your question, though. The usage here is a custom from jazz, not from singer/songwriter.

Note that your song could all be done by making one long song. You could enter the chords for the verse and chorus and the copy them to later in the song as appropriate. There is nothing wrong with doing it this way, since it gives you full and easy control over the sound by placing part markers and/or using F5 to alter the style and/or instruments at any place.

However, since you asked, to use repeats in the song form you are asking about, the only thing that repeats in your song is the verse followed by the chorus. You could do it this way:

Enter the chords in order for the intro, the first verse, the first chorus, the break, then the ending.

Change the number on the main screen that says "Start" (when you hover over, it says "bar for beginning of chorus) and change that from 1 to the first measure of your verse (probably measure 5 or 9 etc.).

Change the number for "End" (bar for end of chorus) to the last measure of your chorus.

Change the number of Choruses to 2 (from the default 3). This will cause one repeat.

Then click on the Song Settings button.
Put a checkbox for Tag Exists.
Tag Jump after bar: (put in the last measure number of your chorus).
Tag Begin at bar: (enter the measure number of the beginning of your ending).
Enter the measure number for the last measure.

That should get you pretty close. Try it and report back.

ps Yours is a pretty specific 'How To' question about BIAB. It would get more visibility in the Product Forum under BIAB for Windows (or BIAB for Mac) than here in the general Recording forum. Something to know for your next question.
