1) How do you insert rests into the notation? There were some measures where it extended notes and tied them together when really there was silence between them. I'd like to make these notate the way they were actually played, but couldn't figure out how to edit that.



In the Notation Window (NOT the Leadsheat view. punch the sihgole 8th note icon on the toolbar to enter Noatation Window) you must first set it to Editable Notation mode by punching the little grid on the LH side of the top bar of the Noatation Window.

Then you must select "Rest" by checking it in that same bar to use the mouse to click on just the right spot between those two notes that are tied to create a rest there. BiaB will automatically fill in the right type of rest.

You can change the Duration of notes and Rests by RightClicking on one and picking "Edit Note" and use the little Duration window and spinners in the window that opens.

2) After you've saved a take, how can you jump to a point on the imported audio and re-record just certain parts of the MIDI?



When you hit the Record button, there is a little window that opens. Set for Punch In recording and enter the bars where you want to "punch in" -- BB will only record during the bars entered. You can also select Punch In recording from one of the menus.

I also got a few weird notes on playback where there would be a note stuck on throughout the playback, playing over the recorded MIDI. Once it started doing this, the only way I could get it to stop was to exit BIAB and go back in. Any ideas?



Notes that overlap can do that. Easy to spot these usually, when not in Clean Notation mode. Use the Note Editor to change start times or durations as necessary to shorten the first note so that it does not overlap with the second note and thus keep on sounding like that.

Oh, I also need to know how to insert empty measures in the notation as well.



That must be done in the Chord Grid view. Edit -> Insert bars. This is so the whole thing matches in number of bars. You would likely want to enter chords in those extra bars also so the autoaccompaniment keeps up.
