Simply count the bars and look at the chords above. Enter that into Biab exactly how the chart looks, print it and then handwrite those things in. I can do a chart in literally five minutes that way while all the futzing around with Biab's controls to display all that crap can take hours.



It's funny you should mention this Bob.
Because this is exactly what I did last night.

I encountered another Coda that was different from the one that I mentioned worked earlier.
I opened the video instructions that worked and tried them for my new situation and it couldn't be done.

So I basically just did what you had suggested above.
I printed the sheet without any markings and hand-marked them in afterwards.

Saved me hours of frustration and work. smile

There should be a pop-up to this effect in BIAB.
On the Repeats/Coda menu (after you open it a couple of times)
a pop-up should surface saying "Have you thought about just printing without any markings and hand-penciling them in?"
