Peter.
firstly thanks for listening to me. much respect.
let me address each one of your points.
1. song form "the " problem.
yes ! it would be very helpfull to have a text field against each capital letter (A, C, whatever section)
where i could enter words like "verse 3" or "break 2" or "solo 4" or whatever.
and then see this in the new generated song form. this would help me line up with my daw markers.
2. tabbed chord view.
lets look at several cases.
a. case where a instrumental break repeated repeated 3 times . in this case right clik over tab, and each tab has "properties" just like individual bars and chords and songs have properties.
but in this case user would enter into tab properties >repeat = 3.
b. case where same instrumental break in a song repeated 3 times, but third time there is a chord change in third repeat bar 6 from Am to C. in this case clik on the tab "instrumental break" properties and repeat = 2.
then user sets up a third tab named instr break (change) , copies chords from first tab. makes chord change at bar 6 from Am to C. voila.

regarding the tabs idea/concept , please feel free to throw any critique at me where the tab concept might
break down, and i'll be glad to address it and provide a solution.
let me also please make a further point about a possible advantage of the tabbed concept.
please imagine a user with 2 monitors. on one is biab tabbed chord view. on second monitor is the users daw multitrak software with markers corresponding to the tabs in biab.
now how bout this ! user drags a tab from biab over to daw marker, et voila!biab intelligently drops its traks to the marker in the users daw only for that song section tab. traks magically appear. sorta like currently.
the key aspect is to match biab markers and daw markers.

let me also add that tabs wouldnt be fixed. they could be dragged around at the top of pipelines graphic if the user wishes to re arrange the song. they can be moved, copied, renamed. whatever.
thus catering to any rearrangement of a users song. also each individual tab section can be played obviously on its own.
3. Unfolding.
the problem with unfolding , is, when i'm away from my big studio tv monitor, in a room on holiday and i get an idea. so i'm useing a small laptop screen. my vision also is not the best. i'm vision impaired.
thus things get very cramped on the screen, and the chord lettering can get rather small on a complex long song. with tabs i could make the lettering big more easily.

regards.
