As a long time user, I got frustrated early into my experience with BB with the very thing you are experiencing. I was classically trained on piano and tried to use the musical road signs, the repeats, al coda, etc, that I had learned to read. It was frustrating until I discovered that I could unfold the song into one start-to-finish linear form. Add what I wanted where I wanted it, knew exactly were I was when I started inside the song, and have never looked back at trying to learn the signs.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
