Doesn't it follow that if you're repeating a section, that you'll need the bars that you're repeating played? It should be automatic.



Shame on you, you're thinking like a musician....

This gets almost everybody who's familiar with fake book charts. The thing is Biab was created by highly educated musicians in the first place but sometimes computer programming just doesn't allow for everything I guess. Logically I completely agree with you, if you tick the repeat box with the number of bars then it should know to just copy those bars and put them in. It's probably one of those arcane programming things where if they did that, it screws up something else totally unrelated but who knows? Overall Biab is pretty good with following proper musical concepts which is why it very common in music schools all over the world.
I've found the best way is to enter your tune as one long song no repeats, codas or anything else. This is where the copy/paste function is very useful then go back and create the repeats because everything is there to do it. The tag ending and coda's work very well too, just experiement a bit to learn exactly how they work.
