An alternative to Band In A Box

I use "Band In A Box" on a regular basis for practicing and working out improvisation arrangements. But I use MuseScore for notational editing and generation of MusicXML files for sharing and publication.
I am interested to know if anyone know of any software which is a replacement for or competitor to "Band In A Box"? In particular, it would be really great to find an alternative which can import MusicXML files so that I can take advantage of my growing library of MuseScore and MusicXML files.
Thanks,

The only free alternative I know of is Improvisor.
Unfortunatly Impro-visor does not import MusicXML (yet). It does export it (I'm the one to blame for this export feature)
Importing should be possible for simple "leadsheets", but it has to be coded.
An alternative to Band in a Box might be SongFactory:

(disclaimer: I'm one of the developers) Again, it doesn't import MusicXML, but there is a forum where you can suggest new features
