Line based lyrics go back to the days where BIAB would display four bars per line in the grid. You could enter lyrics as continuous text represneting lyrics for that whole line of four bars. You would put in new lyrics for the next line of bars. Nothing lined up properly, but it was really there more to jog your memory as to the lyrics. They also tended to print pretty horribly.

Note based lyrics came next. With note based lyrics, you could assign each syllable to a specific note on the melody track. Obviously, you would need the notes there to do that. The lyrics would line up properly to the music you were playing, although long words didn't always print very cleanly all the time either.

Bar based lyrics are basically the replacement to line based lyrics, where you can enter a continuous text representing the lyrics for a single bar. Again, they don't line up to a melody line, but you have a new set of lyrics every bar.

Hope that helps.
