1). It seems you can only import a midi file for the melody in biab. has anyone found a way to get a guitar wav file to import into biab for a melody track?



Macintosh version does not yet support an Audio Track, so the answer is no, not at this time. Development is supposed to be working at catching up the Mac version to the PC version's features, so I have a feeling the Audio Track is coming in a future Mac release, though. Meanwhile, the way to do it would be to export your BiaB song as .MID file and open that in a sequencing software like GarageBand, Logic, Protools, etc. and continue recording audio to the thing from there. Any RealTracks can be exported as AIFF one at a time and imported into your sequencer one at a time after any MIDI file is opened.

2). Has anyone found a wav to midi converter that really works with a mac? I've tried WIDI and Audioscore demo's but not had real luck. My thinking was that until biab allows more file imports, if I could find a wav to midi converter, then I could take like a guitar track and convert it into midi and then import that into biab for the melody--as opposed to trying to play a piano or manually import the notes(I'm a drummer by trade.lol)



Celemony's "Melodyne" program is king.

3). Until they fix the lyrics/notation portion, does anyone know of a good(fairly cheap) lyrics/notation software that works well with the mac?



Well, "fairly cheap" and Macintosh may just be mutually exclusive terms, but you might do some websearching to see if there are any shareware or freeware music notation programs around for the Mac and try some. I use and recommend Sibelius, but its not cheap. It just flat works and works fine.
