I will certainly do this if and when I use BIAB as a staring point or DAW - but I very rarely work on songs in BIAB in this way. What I mostly use BIAB for, is to create a quick transposable leadsheet and maybe a sample MP3 to send to other band members prior to a rehearsal. In which case I don't like the inconvenience of working with a long linear chord sheet window and I often change my mind as to where reapeats and or coda will be. Seems reasonable to me.
