LB.
(note odd time sigs eg 5/4 = OTS.)

re OTS.

ive done quite a lot of testing of ots in various music apps.
there was a thread awhile back about such but sorry ive forgotten the link .
it might be of some interest if you can locate it and would save me retyping. but as to pg products i found for me rb very usefull for various reasons rather than bb.

one aspect re rb i liked was in rb tracks view i could see the divisions in the bar
graphically. i found generally doing ots's was easier in rb.
just make sure and this is important obviously to set rb time sig to 5/4 and your desired tempo

there are many ways you could enter the melody in rb.
(see the manual to save me typing oodles.)

how do you want to enter the melody ?
via piano roll ? via midi keyboard ? via genning a midi rt or a audio rt and doing editing to get it the way you want ?
via notation ?

there are many methods in rb.

(note...i'm useless at notation so probably i would gen a midi in rb as a starting point or several midi's in rb then comp/edit to get a final melody i was happy with and then midi to audio via a plug inand do the same with audio tracks till i got things the way i wanted.
i would do this comping/final assembly in rb as rb has tons of tracks.)

please post back your preferred work method re creating the melody.

i dont know how much the above helps you but bottom line when it comes to ots i
found rb easier re creating a ots song.
but maybe you dont want to go through learning a new app.
at the very least i would read the rb manual on this pg site (also included with the
shipped software) and run tests with your work methods and see if rb will make things easier.(note rb has also a very usefull 'tips of the day feature'.)

happiness.
