Rob you seem to know more about this stuff than I do. I gig a lot, I live in Los Angeles and I'll get calls for gigs. I'll need to come up with 10 charts by Friday kind of thing. I'm not interested in a work of art music pdf file that's going to hang in the Louvre. All I want and the others in this thread want is a nice fakebook chart that I can hand out to band members that I may or may not have ever met before and they can read it without any problems. I don't know if you have fakebooks in Europe but a good fake book chart is usually one staff with the melody line and the chords above. That's it. If you've never heard the song before you're supposed to be good enough to fake it.

Then there will be the 1st/2nd or even 3rd endings, and a coda or tag ending and those symbols are easy for the player to read. Nobody has time to create a PDF from an XML from a Biab file, put it into a tablet, use Paint or something else to create an overlay, use the stylus (yes I know all about that stuff), make the corrections, create a new pdf and print that.

Way too much trouble.

My way is much faster. If Biab could simply do that in the first place it would be even faster yet but that's not happening.
