...the score view in BIAB is doing some sort of quantize to make the score palatable , so I wish there was something that meant export like you look i.e. what you see is what you get.


Agreed, BiaB notation does a good job of converting and simplifying a melody for a sensible leadsheet. When it exports MIDI, however, it has little choice except to send it out as played. It would be very annoying if it automatically quantized everything. So you quantize it yourself, as needed.

As follows: Along the very top row of menus: MELODY | EDIT MELODY TRACK | QUANTIZE. If the BiaB leadsheet is not appearing quite right in spite of its built in routines, you can try quantizing temporarily in order to straighten it up.




For making leadsheets, nothing much works slicker than BiaB, when the tune is already entered there. Its deficiencies and inabilities are usually not serious for daily work. Stay in BiaB and don't export nothin' to nowhere, unless you just have to. Publishers sometimes demand Finale files, for example.

If you're not happy with stock appearance, almost every aspect is customizable. Once set, a new leadsheet style persists permanently as your house style until you change it.
