Good tips and clarifications above.

I think the BIAB styles that are 5/4 are all MIDI as John said. There's nothing wrong with that; it's just that if you are trying to enter a 5/4 time signature and use RealTracks, you can't do it as far as I know (except for some RealDrums).

Also, even with the BIAB 5/4 MIDI styles, adding a MIDI melody presents a challenge. For example, in the editable notation mode, you will see 4 beats per measure (not 5). Four quarter notes will play spaced over 5 beats. [If you like a syncopation challenge, try playing that for awhile]

Doing it as I suggested earlier, with a measure of 3 beats followed by a measure of 2, and repeating that, makes note entry easier (even if it looks funny when printed). Use F5 on each measure to change the number of beats in that measure.
