It would be great if the TXT format representation of songs could be extended so that not only the basic song information, such as chords, base tempo, style, part markers etc., could be saved and edited, but all song information, including melody and bar based changes via F5 (such as tempo changes) would be included. This would provide a wonderful interface to edit songs externally and then import them into BiaB. It would also open up a whole new world of composing songs by random generator or by algorhythmic rules (12-tone music). I am not sure, but this could greatly expand the potential and scope of Band in a Box and open it to third party developers.
