Let’s start again.

Are you trying to take printed music and enter it into BIAB? Music such as purchased published music, leadsheets or fake-books?

Yes, there are apps and programs that can scan printed music and make it into MIDI that BIAB can load. Yes, there are apps that can read a PDF file and convert it to a MIDI file. Both will have errors and will require you to make corrections, in my experience.

If you have a MIDI file, BIAB can read that.

If you don’t, you can play the melody and BIAB can record it.

Or you can enter it note by note with the mouse.
