I think the most important function to add first would be exporting Music XML from BIAB. The program is actually quite close to being able to do it now, with the melody exported for Sincy (the vocal synth introduced last year). And you are correct, many music software applications support Music XML, but unfortunately not all implement it correctly. It's not as simple to do as it may appear. Still, this is a very needed feature. +1 BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

It's arguable that it's overdue, and would certainly be appreciated by many, many users. And welcome to the neighborhood Keith!

Otherwise, what's the point if MusicXML doesn't add some of the functionality that is needed?

Matt Finley Veteran Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 25,938 Hudson Valley & Lake George NY	You're right, Trevor. Of course, what Dave and I (and others) need now is an export Music XML function in BIAB, so we can work in a dedicated notation program. I have to believe that would be much easier to implement since it's already partially in the program (melody track to Sincy)! Getting BIAB to read Music XML files, and deciding what to do with them when it does, seems to me a much more difficult task. Where I live, we call it a hamburger with the works.
