It has three dashed lines per beat, so triplets, which I believe indicates it's a swing style. I think that's the root of the problem. Going to even time allows more the notation the OP expects.

However, I note that it can also be done in swing time by putting the second note in the bar on the third dashed vertical of the bar, not on the middle line as the OP is doing.

I'm not though that familiar with the notation editor in BiaB, so please correct me if I'm mistaken.
