I understand, but the fact is that BIAB always has bars of an equal length on a staff. PGMusic counts the leadin bar as a full bar regardless of the number of notes, so generally it takes up 1/5th of the staff (assuming you normally have 4 bars per staff).

I would also like notation to have short bars where appropriate. Consider the ending bars where there may only be 1 note over 2 bars. It's quite unnecessary to have that take up half a staff. The opposite is also true - a bar with lots of notes will look better if it's spaced properly.

BIAB is great, but it's notation could be much better. We have been waiting for better notation for a long time. 2004 brought us 'fake sheet' but not much since. Some new ways of entering notes, but printing has been pretty much stagnant
