I have tried to use the possibility to Export a Band-In-A-Box composition in XML-File and use it with other Notation SW like MuseScore and Sibelius. This just because in BIAB is not possible to have a layout with differents measures per rows. When I have opened the XML-File into the other Application I stated that more Lyric words or part of word was missing. A bigger surprise was to stated that some chords was also changed... (F#m7 displayed as Dm7) Why this behaviours? Is it a BIAB problem or a problem of the others SW? The same file imported in Sibelius has another outfit as in MuseScore and the amount of corrections that i have to do to have a good layout is very time expensive that is easier to write the file in place of import it and do modifications!!! Is there a valid reasons because is not possible to have a flexibel layout in BIAB that adopt a different numbers of measures per row if the amount of notes or Words is not the same in all measures? This behaviors was stated into BIAB 2016, but is still present into BIAB 2017. Thank you for an answer that allow me to appreciate the features of the new XML-Format.

It is possible to have different numbers of bars per rows in the Lead Sheet. LeadSheet Window (Alt-W) > Opt. button > Fake Sheet bars/line:
BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
I use MuseScore 2.0.3 and I've found that it reads XML files exported from BIAB very well. Chords (including X9sus and slash chords) were interpreted with 100% accuracy. Below is how I used it.
EXPORT SETTINGS These are shown on the top image below.
AFTER IMPORTING INTO MUSESCORE The imported XML included two staves and two bars of BIAB's count-in.
1. To delete the first two bars... (a) Select the measures. (b) Use "Edit | Measure | Delete selected measures"
2. To delete the second staff... (a) Choose "Edit | Instruments" (b) Select "Staff 2" in the right-hand list and then click on "Remove".
it is interesting, but probably desired size adjustment bar according to the amount of notes and text set not?

Thanks to all that give me an answer... I will investigate deeper and report if I find where is the BUG with the Chord F#m7 that is transformed into Dm7 and why some text are not diplayed.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
