It looks like you can't do this. I like to switch back and forth between BB and RB. I can import/export melodies as midi but any way to copy and paste chords into BB? I just type them in BB which is not a big deal but would be nice to import to BB. Thanks!

If you just open the .sgu BIAB file with RB it generates the chord chart in RB. Not sure if this answers your problem

It's not as pretty going backwards to BiaB (usually)
but you can try 'Save As' and save it as a BiaB format file, like sgu.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!

Try this method.
In RB, render the song as a stereo wav file.
From the File menu in BIAB, Use Open with Chords to open your rendered file.
BIAB will open your RB rendered wav using the Audio Chord Wizard which imports the chords into BIAB.
Edit the chords/tempo as necessary. This should be very quick because first, the ACW does a very good and mostly accurate job reading BB/RB files plus, you already know the proper chord structure, tempo and key since this is a render of your own song or cover making editing a fast and easy process.
A sometimes added plus is the ACW will read a chord incorrectly, but on occasion the incorrect chord fits and works and can be a better and more musical choice than the original chord. Sometimes....
Finally, it is a good way to practice and become more familiar with the Audio Chord Wizard.

Now it looks like it can export to BB. I had a tune with chords and midi melody in RB. I highlighted the melody track in the tracks window, clicked Track, save to file (midi). Then in BB imported that file expecting to just get the melody but behold the chords were all there and correct. So so far I'm hopeful.
