I noticed you have not posted a reply. I'm going to add my 2 cents here. Hope you have not given up.

2 things you have to do before you begin entering chords is change a few default settings. ON the upper part of the BIAB screen you will see a number of Bars and by default it will be 36. Change that to 99, the number is not important just make it much larger than 36. Next to that is Number of choruses change that from 3 to 1. This is confusing just for now set it this way.

A practical way to enter the chords for me was. Pick a style Upper left part of your screen under a symbol with a drum, guitar and piano (country, Rock)What ever style you want for you song.

When the style loads MUTE everything except the drums, to mute look at the upper right side of your screen there are instruments BASS is on top, then piano, click the M to the right of the words BASS< PIANO< DO NOT MUTE DRUMS< GUITAR< STRINGS< MELODIST. Now you can use the drums as a metronome, (I can't count so this is how I determine how many BARS for each chord are needed to create my song.)

Turn the tempo down to a reasonable rate like 50 bpm, the slower you go the easier it is to stick in the Chords in at the proper bar.

Get piece of paper and pen. The song starts with a chord in the first Bar so type that in and hit the PLAY button. As the drum plays sing your song at the slow tempo you have just set. As you sing the words along with the drum, and get to a chord change, either hit the stop button and input the chord. Or write the Bar Number down, then hit the stop button. Input the chord in the correct Bar that you have on your paper.

Go back to the beginning and start listening while singing the song through to the 2nd chord change. Is the second chord in the correct place? If so start the song over and now sing right through the 2nd Chord and find the BAR where you need to put in the 3rd chord. If the 2nd chord is in the wrong place move it to the correct bar.

Repeat this procedure for the whole Verse. Its not going to take you long to realize your chord changes create a pattern. They may change every other Bar, or they change every 4th bar. Or your verse has a pattern of the first chord is held for 2 bars then there is a chord changes on the 3rd and 4th bar.

Now go ahead and figure out your chorus, and if you have one the bridge.

You can copy and paste the number of verses that you have by highlighting the first Verse, Click in the first bar hold the shift key then click in the last bar of the verse. The entire verse should be highlighted. Now do CTRL C, go to the first bar after the Chorus click that bar, then go CTRL V.
