I score in Musescore 4, save in musicxml format, import to BiaB, choose style and refine, export MIDI ... that is my workflow. I now have a 4/4 song I am working with that needs to have occasional 2/4 bar. I score it in Musescore and export musicxml (and can reopen it, and the 2/4 bars are preserved), but when I open the musicxml file in BiaB, the 2/4 bars are 4/4, and the 2nd half of what should be the 2 beat bar is the first half of what should be the following 4/4 bar. If I change one of these bars to 2/4, instead beats 3 and 4 being pushed into the next bar, beats 3 and 4 are instead grayed out and played over. I get my 2/4 bar, but lose 2 beats of music. 2/4 bars in a 4/4 song are sufficiently common that there is bound to be a simple and effective process to handle this in BiaB, but I can't see it. Can anyone open my eyes to it?

I figure I can go back into Musescore and make all bars 4/4, and leave rests in beats 3 and 4 of the bars I want to be 2/4, then change them to 2/4 in BiaB, but that solution is so ugly I don't want to go there. I'd rather know the right way to do it. Thanks folks.

I need to add to this, because my assessment of what is happening is inaccurate. In BiaB, when I change a single bar to 2/4 and the following bar to 4/4, the score gets adjusted correctly, but the chords do not. The second half of the bar that is now 2/4 is now disabled, and the chord change that was set at beat 3 in that bar sits there disabled. That chord change needs to be pushed to the next bar along with the score. Why does it push the score along but not the chords? The question is how to push the chords. If I try to copy from the disabled half of the bar I've made into 2/4 through to the end of the song, and paste into the start of the next bar, it copies from the start of the 2/4 bar, which achieves nothing. I don't see a way.
