As if I haven't said this before, what I think would solve this best is for BIAB to output Music XML. That way, BIAB does not have to worry about the difficulty of producing notation; instead, you take your song directly, including chords, into a program that specializes in notation. Since some of those are free, it shouldn't be a hindrance to any of us.

The thing is, we are already close. BIAB now outputs the melody in MUSIC XML to the voice synth, Sinsy.

And we are not alone here at BIAB. On the Cakewalk forum (Cakewalk makes SONAR), we have asked for a decade that SONAR should improve its music notation view. I guess it's time to give up on that, and hope that they would also output Music XML.
