pipeline.
thats essentially how ive done it in the past.
one biab file for intro, another for verses, another for leads, another for out to coda etc etc. and for major song key changes even more biab files.
then i put it all together in reaper.
one reason i like reaper is i can move audio around easily.
and deep edit easily.

frankly i wish pg would hire you with all your graphics and other talents.

one option i was thinking of was like some other music software. linear horizontal layout of chords in bars
|| at the top. then going down left hand side 16 instrument traks.
sorta like this chord view idea. (i'm lousy at graphics)
-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
chords> Dm|G|F|A5||C2|Dm7|F11|Bsus||Em|Asus|D7|Fm||etcetc
-------------------------------------------------------------
bass
drums
piano
gtr1
gtr2
mdy1
mdy2
solo1
solo2
etc etc
to 16 user defined
RT's and/or mids etc etc. and maybe a couple of audio traks.
per bar genning or group of bars of course etc etc.
ie linear approach starting at left and going to the right.
and vertical named bar lines etc etc with bar markers.
(similar to reapers song markers that i use extensively.)
note || = end of bar/beginning of next sorta idea.
no of chords per bar would be user defined.
totally flexible.
just drag chords to the chord line from a store of chords idea.

i would love to see one of your great graphics of above.
the vertical marker lines would be named intro, or verse 1 ,
or key changer, or whatever user defines.

best.
muso.
