There are far superior tools for recording, audio editing, notation etc. I feel using BiaB's tools for these functions would equivocate to building a house with on a hand saw, hammer and nails while your neighbor builds a house with power tools.

YMMV

Some very good points above, though I would say that recording your musical performance along with BIAB IS a core function. I don't think many buy it just lo listen, and recording your practice can be an enlightening experience, if sometimes suprisng.

Lots of people would enjoy the musical challenge, but not the technically challenge, which borders on the absurd, if you don't know any better.

There are some things I LOVE about BIAB as we all do here, Real Tracks are King.

I do like the idea of lanes, just not the implementation. Just to dream a bit, I would love to see a 'layer view' . I would like to see the main GUI scroll according to tempo rather than leap around, and be capable of presenting a track horizontally, like a proper sequencer. I would want to be able to control bar size controls intuitively, graphically by dragging.
From there, it would be possible to have track types, for example:

1] Chord Info Track (shows per bar info such as chord name, Roman numerals, bar number - similar to main GUI) This track would have a timeline feature beats or minutes.
2} Real Track/user Audio recording track with subtypes)
3] MIDI/XML?User MIDI recording track (subtypes such as supertracks) views for notation, piano roll etc.)
4] Notation Track (selectable clef types, single double


Where the GUI scrolls left to right, there less of a problem presenting the tracks - like a sequencer does

Each of the (used tracks could have a lane, and everything could be hidden or revealed as appropriate.

A simple view would be just the chords with selectable info.

A more complex view might be a view where a MIDI and or a Real Track notation track was also displayed, or some notation for the bass part. The user could customise the complexity.

Ill call this "Layer view".

I think most of the tech is there for such a view, its a matter of rethinking the GUI and displaying things in useful intuitive way.
