Export to iTunes doesn't show in Music

Hi,


I'm exporting a track from GarageBand to "iTunes Sharing" in iOS 9.1 iPad 2

After exporting, I checked Music - not there.

So - I tried synching with the computer - not in iTunes either.


I eventually emailed it to myself, opened in iTunes then synched it back.


This seems lengthy, counter-intuitive and not the small numbness of steps Mr Jobs would have opted for.


What am I missing?


Many thanks in advance for wisdom


David


on the iMac - everything is up to date - latest Yosemite, not El Capitan.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
