When I'm doing this, I normally import a MusicXML file with chords and melody. Where it often goes wrong for me is when I try to expand up the choruses, worse if I try to reduce them again. It isn't that BiaB deletes the melody, it's that it jumbles bits together and makes a complete mess of it, particularly when there's a tag. That's not helped by BiaB refusing to accept that a single chorus song can have a tag.

One reason for using the MusicXML is that I can easily start over when needed.
