They will then appear at the right position.
This is quite unusual and should be fixed: A note should appear were you click and expect it.


OK I see what you mean - for the purpose of editing notation the input setup
used shows violin and bass clefs and you enter notes as if you were writing
for piano. For the purpose of rendition you can select eg. Guitar and not Tab
and you just get notes set up as on classical guitar score (although only in
"output window). That is slightly confusing but OK it works and it is a good
way for guitarist to keep bass clef reading skill sharp. I wonder if (for
tab oriented folks) you can enter notes - like in Guitar Pro.

Also - I wonder how useful BIAB would be to write out transcription.
I usually start with pencil and paper but at some point it is nice to have
real score. I do have Sibelius (simple version) and if I need to write any
charts it is hard to beat as far as print quality and readability. But since
Music XML seems to work ok as exchange format for both so perhaps BIAB could
be a simple intermediate tool - eliminate need for pencil ;-)
