Thanks y'all. I'll give these tips a try as needed.

Noel, I was hoping to find a way to edit chords on a chord-by-chord basis on the chord sheet, if you will, rather than doing a global or limited search and replace. I just finished editing an 80 bar piece, and had to change almost every chord -- majors to major 7ths, minors to minor 7ths, etc. And it went quickly enough, so I guess it wouldn't be much of a time saver anyway, even if there were a way to edit individual chords on the chord sheet.

Today I tried something new, since almost all of the backing tracks I've had the ACW translate only dimly resemble the originals. Instead, I play the audio file and watch the chords the ACW has chosen as the file plays. These backing tracks are not complex, so it has become an easy process for me to correct the chords as I listen to the audio. Doing this provides me with an almost exact copy -- in terms of harmonies, at least. After I've done this, I search through my styles inventory, hoping to find one that comes close to the way the audio is being played. That's been a hit-and-miss process so far.

So anyway, it's become an involved process, but I think it will be ultimately worth it. Reason for all this trouble? Because I like the lead sheets that BiaB puts together. Of course, the sheets won't have any melodies -- unless I use the melodist to throw something together just for the sake of the printout. But they'll have the chords, at least, which is what I was after from the beginning.
