You should be able to highlight an out of range note, say a C4, and bring them down or up to an in the range note, say a C5 or a C3. Or you could change them to another in range note. It isn't that hard and once you get use to it it does go very quickly.

Note that I do this in my DAW.

Hi Mario,

I've been doing the same for Roots Upright Bass, probably for the same reasons. Mostly I can just shift it up an octave instead of down, though there are a couple or so notes at the top end that RUB doesn't have.

I've been doing it in BiaB, but am coming to the conclusion that getting a decent outline/basis in BiaB and then transferring to DAW may well be better.
