This surely can't be as hard as it seems. Maybe I'm over thinking it or something. I don't know.

OK, I have a song with an intro a chorus and an outro/tag/coda. That's all pretty standard IMHO, and I think the outro/tag/coda is the "my own ending" refered in a different thread.

I have the song as a one-chorus XML, which I import, but BiaB won't accept a tag with only one chorus (why not?).

No matter how I try to multiply that up to multiple choruses, BiaB keeps putting the tag within each chorus. I've tried copying from...to to overwrite those tags, but nothing I do seems actually to copy ... that darned tag is still there in every chorus!

I've unfolded the song into one large chorus, gone through and deleted the melody+bars every time the tag appears within the chorus, so now I have one large song with intro, five choruses and outro. OK, so far so good, but I'd like it folded so I can change the number of choruses ... intro, x-choruses, outro.

But when I try to refold, BiaB drops my outro and jumps back into the middle of the final chorus ... Oh, I've just played the final chorus again to confirm exactly what it does and this time it just jumped to a dead stop. Bizarrely most of the tracks have also gone silent! I regenerated and all the tracks played again; at the end of the last chorus Biab jumped back to bar five of the chorus (bar 13 of the song) then jumped to bar 33 and did an ugly abrupt stop. That skips right past four bars (29..32) that might be my tag, but the chords are wrong, so who knows? Right, well, I've just looked at the notation and yes, it's my tag, but it's greyed-out and BiaB skips past and does that abrupt one bar stop.

Intro+choruses+outro is pretyy standard. This should not be so darned hard! mad
