So at rehearsal tonight my composer friend wanted to know if BIAB would import Finale XML. The advantage would be that it would pull in the Finale leadsheet lyrics, too. I don't think so, but maybe somebody could give me a definitive answer.

When I print the MIDI I've created and notated now, it's just the single part all by itself. This is better than nothing if I can't get the Finale MIDI files. I think I can live without the lyrics if I have the melody, but it would be great to see my leads and fills integrated with a chord notated leadsheet with the original Finale melody and the measure numbers intact. If I don't want to use ACW and spend time cleaning it up or entering the chords by hand, I'll need the Finale leadsheet MIDI files to do this.

If I continue to make do with just the notated MIDI part by itself, I'm going to need to modify the printout format a little - it's too big. I'd like to shrink the actual print output so that maybe I could physically cut and paste it into a Finale leadsheet, like between the staves. I'm not talking about the notation view in a BIAB window, which I figured out how to resize. How can you make the measure and notes overall smaller on the printout?
