I've just upgraded from an older Band-in-a-Box version and was interested to see ABC import and export as a feature. I've been using that format for years to generate MIDI files and lead sheets for songs.

My problem is that I don't understand how this implementation is supposed to work. Most of the files I try to import give me a rather dire warning:

"List index (-1) out of bounds.

Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Abort to kill the program."

Those that don't give a warning also have no visible result that I can see.

I even tried the simple sequence of exporting an ABC file from the program, using File->New, then importing the file with no modifications. Nothing obvious happened (empty grid except for one C chord)...which makes me think, maybe I don't know what should happen.
