It's easy to forget that, while BIAB supports music notation, it is not primarily a notation program; it is an auto-accompaniment program. I generally go the other way from what Tom is doing. I compose in BIAB and then write the final chart in a notation program. But if you follow all the help above, you can enter a chart into BIAB and produce a correct accompaniment backing track.
