BIAB does not natively support 6/8 time, and will always display either 3/4 or 4/4. 6/8 is achieved by using tripletized 4/4 time (so every half input cell is one 6/8 bar and you can only change chords every bar), or by using two 3/4 bars to simulate 6/8 time (and then you just adjust the tempo accordingly).

There is an option in import to handle pickup notes; however 6/8 import is always going to be problematic. I haven't done it in a while, so I would have to try it out and see exactly what happens. I do all my input in a notation program (Noteworthy Composer), then export to MIDI, then import the MIDI into BIAB.

If you don't have the problem resolved by the weekend, I'll see what I can find out (unfortunately, as a choir director at church, I'm swamped with Holy Week activities this week). It seems I cracked this nut before, just haven't looked at it in a while.
