P.S. Even though I think a strong case has now been made for including this ( mainly by others who are real musicians rather than this hobbyist ), if you would like to see it as well, please throw a post of support.....

Just imagine how easy and very fast it is to enter song with numbers instead of positioning note heads on ledger lines.
|1· 1· |1 23· | Row, row, row your boat
|1 1 5 5 |6 6 5 - | Twinkle, twinkle little star
|1 2 3 1 |1 2 3 1 | Frere Jacques
|5 3 5 - | 5 3 5 - | Barney "I Love You" (aka This Old Man)
Some advantages are :
1. Users do not need to know keys to start writing tunes for any voice range. Tunes written can be played back in any keys.
2. All tunes can be indexed and searched by their number pattern as can be seen above few examples.
3. Printed song sheets can be very compact without any ledger lines.
4. Basically all musics are patterns of notes which can be notated in numbers for fast analysis and learning. eg. notes in 1-3-5 pattern is root major chord.
BiaB is soon going into version 18 (or 2009). This feature could give a big break into the China region market as this number notation system is commonly used there.

PG should re-look into this old request which will add BIG value to BIAB's midi capabilities and markets, especially in China. A big advantage of this Notation system is All tunes can be indexed and searched by their musical number pattern. "An index using the numbered notation allows us to find a song if we remember the tune but not the name. To appreciate that, we can look at an example. A children's song book may have an index like this: |1· 1· |1 23· | Row, row, row your boat |1 1 5 5 |6 6 5 - | Twinkle, twinkle little star |1 2 3 1 |1 2 3 1 | Frere Jacques" Quoted from an "old" website: http://tripatlas.com/Numbered_musical_notationand also found on this Wiki page . Some Jazz standards can be found at The Rousseau Music Book and read the original 1742 explanation of this notation systems by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

A bump of this old suggestion that bring music notation to the masses (compared to the graphical visual nature standard notation). Now there is even an iPad version to play in Numbered musical notation at http://normanschmidt.net/RousseauMusicPad/Checked out a great collections of Jazz standards written in simple key neutral number notation at http://normanschmidt.net/leadsheets.php
