Hi,

I've been using these together for slightly different purposes for some time, but I do find the process with them all frustrating as I'm doing similar things several times over. Maybe that's just how it is, but I wondered if anyone had any better shortcuts than I.

I usually start with a printed score, or photo thereof, from someone else and/or from a download from the Musescore website. I first create a once-through leadsheet in Musescore, including any intro, coda and first/second endings, then export to MusicXML before adding any repeats into Musescore and saving it. I then export as a .pdf ready for later import into MobileSheetsPro or printing.

I then open-special the MusicXML in BiaB, move the melody to the melody track, set up the song structure in BiaB, find a suitable style and save that.

Then I enter the chord progression again into iRealPro and again set repeats and choose a style.

My suspicion is that this is as efficient as I can get at present, but any tips on improvements would be welcome.

Thanks.
