Hi Oliver,
I got to thinking a bit more about what you are wanting to do.

You mention that you are familiar with music notation. I assume that you are also familiar with the fact that chords come in many variations. There are three note chords, four note chords, five note chords etc. It is not uncommon for notes to be left out of a chord when playing it and there are various ways chords can be constructed known as inversions. A cord like Gm7 can therefore be interpreted in many different ways by a composer or a musician. With BIAB the composer/musician is a style.

I got to thinking that it was unlikely that there would be an existing style in BIAB that would be simple enough to do exactly what you want so I had a go at creating one. I arbitrarily chose to use a 4 note chord. Below you can see my results from the chord sheet using this JUSCHORD.STY that I created (It only has one instrument track - a guitar)
I then exported the midi file that was generated and opened it in a notation program that I use called MuseScore.

It all seems to work OK but it may not be exactly what you want. If you need something more sophisticated you may need to get help from someone who has a lot more experience with creating styles than I do. Gary suggested Bob Norton. He has a good reputation.

I have packed everything including the demo song with the chords, the style files, the exported midi file and an MP3 recording of what you would hear in BIAB when you hit the play button. This should give you something to play around with before buying anything to see if it basically does what you want.

You can use the following link to download the zip file from my drop box. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pb76nxxon2q62cw/AAB1s7nQTYRF2xdUNNRQPQpaa?dl=0

The download button is on the right at the top. It is a bit hard to see.

Regards
Tim
