After having not used BIAB for some time, today I entered a tune to try to audition some transcribed chords for a tune a band will be covering.

I ran into the same problem of having difficulty finding a way to extend the song length.

Some searches later - I as able to figure it out - but from a usability standpoint there could be improvements.

My case may or may not have been similar to the original poster (in song structure). However, it would be useful to have (under key/tempo) along with "Start" "End" and "Choruses" a box for last measure.

For me, I wasn't aware that the ending (as 2 measures) was "fixed" and that adding a "tag" (thought this would mean it would repeat) is actually a coda. I was able to get the form I wanted by adding a "tag" (coda) of a set # of measures.

The usability feedback would be that what you see on the screen without going through buried menus does not seem to allow editing the length of sections or the tune.

I was expecting a right-click to show an "insert measure" and "delete measure" feature. I was able to use "cut" to clear out a measure - but didn't see an insert measure.

It only takes a few choice keywords in your favorite search engine and a little reading to get around the interface - but there could be improvements even after you know where to look to improve keystroke/mouse-click counts.
