BiaB's default of 120ppq IMHO is too small.

I think 240ppq should be the minimum and 480 adequate for most applications. 960 works even better than that, but is an overkill for most things. Still it's good to have.

If I were to import something into BiaB, I'd probably convert it to 120ppq first. It seems to me that would head any trouble off.

Depending on the instrument, I also filter out any non-necessary MIDI data. For example, if I use my wind synth to make a guitar part, I'll filter out breath data (continuous controller #2) before I import it into BiaB. Why give BiaB something that is not appropriate to a guitar part. Pitch bend for a piano would be another example.

Of course, there may be a reason why you want pitch bend on a piano, or some other non-native effect to an instrument, and they would be the exceptions to that rule.
