Hi,
I've been using these together for slightly different purposes for some time, but I do find the process with them all frustrating as I'm doing similar things several times over. Maybe that's just how it is, but I wondered if anyone had any better shortcuts than I.
I usually start with a printed score, or photo thereof, from someone else and/or from a download from the Musescore website. I first create a once-through leadsheet in Musescore, including any intro, coda and first/second endings, then export to MusicXML before adding any repeats into Musescore and saving it. I then export as a .pdf ready for later import into MobileSheetsPro or printing.
I then open-special the MusicXML in BiaB, move the melody to the melody track, set up the song structure in BiaB, find a suitable style and save that.
Then I enter the chord progression again into iRealPro and again set repeats and choose a style.
My suspicion is that this is as efficient as I can get at present, but any tips on improvements would be welcome.
Thanks.

I’m not sure from your description why both BIAB and iRealPro are involved. Perhaps you could start the problem description with what you want to have as your final product(s)?

Ah, yes.
I use BiaB at home for practicing, but I take iRealPro with me to band sessions where normally I use it only as a means to display a chord sheet. Only occasionally do I link it to the amplifier.
Printed .pdf file I use in sunlight where the tablet isn't so good.

Pushing this in a slightly different direction, because this is the only thread I have found with a reference to iReal Pro, do you, or anyone else on here, know whether it is possible to import to BiaB a chord sequence already entered into iReal Pro. Like the OP, I'm seeking to minimise the amount of repetitive preparatory work I'm doing. Background is that I have been using MobileSheets and iReal Pro on a split screen and I now want to substitute BiaB as my accompaniment. Don't relish the thought of putting all those chord sequences in a second time. If there is no specific import function, is it just a matter of copy and paste between the chord display screens of the two programs? (Not tried that yet.)

Sorry - I have now looked at threads further down this page, and I see there is quite a lot of discussion about importing iReal chords into BiaB. I'll get reading those.

Having looked at other threads, I now have to give a thank you to Matt Finley. Your MUSICMXL instructions worked for me.

Indeed, I would like to see what someone found valuable. Is it something that should be in the Tips & Tricks Forum?

Thanks. I see we hit a few snags so I did not continue with the project. Seven years ago …
