In that case Biab really has nothing to do with this other than it can create an XML file with chords. This vid is really showing how Reaper can work with XML. There are several threads here about using XML files in various DAW's. Some work well, some don't but I can certainly see the value in it. Matt has done a lot of this and he's said that different programs will create XML's is different ways but since it's just a text file you can edit it.

Since I've been checking out Studio One 4 and Notion I just checked and Notion will import XML. That means if I want better notation than Biab has I could import a Biab created XML into Notion and the song layout and chords will be there. That would save a ton of time since I wouldn't have to create a new song chart from scratch.

Just remembered, I saw a Reaper vid a few months ago about a new notation function. If it's good and now we know Reaper can import XML that could be an cheaper way to get better notation than buying a separate program like Notion. But, Notion is also fully integrated into Studio One and includes some really good orchestral software instrument samples...Choices, choices.
