I understand (and hopefully I'm correct) that when using ‘Chord Sheet’ view, BIAB does not repeat chord name for the bar or bars that follow any particular chord if they are the same one. For example, if the first two bars are ‘C’, only bar 1 shows the ‘C’. Is there a reason for this other than, say, neatness or perhaps convention?

Reason for asking is that I use ‘Save Song to XML’ as the most reliable means of producing a chord file as other methods have occasional quirks. When saving in this way, any bars without a chord name appear blank in the XML file. It is easy enough to add chord names in before export, but wonder if I’m upsetting anything else in the composition by doing this?

Any thoughts please?
