Does not seem to be much going on the IOS version.
No reponses to questions from PG ?
No next steps ?

How about sharing the PG vision on the evolution.

One ask I had was a lyrics and chords scrolling window like in BiaB and RB. This would make it very usable for live performances or group practices.

Hi JBran,

We are working on some upgraded features for the next update. Things like enhanced looping controls, an overhaul of the style picker, and realcharts for notation when generating from the server. Bar-based lyrics for the chord page are also something we intend to add, maybe not for the next release, though.

We're making notes of all the bugs reported and features requested.

Thanks for the update.

For what its worth. Please keep it simple .
The complexity of the PC based program and its ability to do everything is its weakness. It scares peole off. I think concentration on the midi side and perfecting the work flow is the place to concentrate. I had a Korg arranger that had a Simple Button which hid menus and commands for more advanced features until i new the basic.

I think this a very good start. I look forward to the development.

I echo that. Simpler is better, even if not as powerful. Desktop BIAB is a great program that overwhelms many people due to complexity. Having a lite version is just what is needed.

Maybe have the free version be the lite one and in app purchase for complicated features similar to desktop? I don’t want to end up having to use a thumb drive like I have to with the desktop.

Please explain what you mean. I do not thing this will ever carry what the desktop does in features if it did it would have to be super expensive or would ruin desktop sales. It is meant to be a quick on the move tool. Why do you have to use a thumbdrive with the desktop version?

I believe referring to the fact that the desktop version ships with a drive if Audiophile; drive is optional with other versions. Of course, we know that one can use the drive or load everything into the Mac or PC.

This is not the case with the iPadOS version. Like you, I believe that this is an add-on to the desktop version and not a replacement.
