I've been using iReal Pro for backing tracks to practice to. It’s a great quick fix but now I would like more realistic sounds and be able to input a melody line or a practice pattern/motif over a chord eg. Enclosure pattern around the 5th of a chord etc.

I have a few questions:
- Is the notation function easy to use, I assume you can input rests.
- Could a melody created in muscore be imported - I guess via midi?
- Would the notation in a bar (or bars) remain if copy/pasted elsewhere in the tune?

I am not entirely new to biab - the last version I had had to be installed via about 15 3.5in Floppy disks!
