Wouldn't they be nice? I fear I'm waisting our time. Tried a blues tune with some stops on the down beat using the shot feature with drums exempted. It comes off more like flatulence then a real downbeat. I look at help it didn't...... help that is. It never heard of them. We can have animated drum kits and loops that don't return to one at the right time with tons of edit noise and artifacts near the place where it should repeat.
** I need to add that just now I changed some of the instruments and found the bass player played the downbeat with an accent so I'm thinking I should have tried some more styles before bring it up. working under the gun trying to get ready for rehearsal.
But here I am again not practicing, but it needs to be said that my complaint about down beats was based on one instance and may not represent the way the rest of the program works. I'll finish in the windows area because the accents I got are a lot too loud. I don't have the bass running hot in the mix compared to the rest of the trax. i.e piano and drums. Listening thru very good equipment. So I should have tried more tracks before complaining but see above re rehearsal.

Why are there no real tracks accents? Some of you know they are a big part of music arranging. The shot with bass piano and drums exempted to suit the arrangement has the personality of a sleepy slavation army janitor.
Unless there is something I don't know yet I may have to include the drums to give it some ahhhhhh..... round objects. No need to wake up the puritans.
I guest requests are an nice nutaral corporate concept.
For some of changes your code people made there should maybe be a hearing.
Why would you think it's ok to change so many things in the above the chord sheet area so that there is no longer any work flow. Sure in a few months we'll find our way around. How could you think that would be ok. And why is windows code `light in it's loafers' over mouse clicks. You have added more than a few more by dumping all the clutter in my Biab.
I'm speaking about `15 audio file. The spelling is no accident. What you have done to my program is abrasive, abusive and dripping with unnecessary clutter above the chord sheet. The chord sheet is the only part I recoginze. How is that acceptable?
And sorry but I cannot believe thousands of peope asked for clutter, and an end to work flow as we know it, and loops that don't.
What would be wrong with letting us arrange the clutter or better yet delete most of it.
Something good may come of this. You are moving in a direction that will creat a void just begging to be filled by something more like the essentials to make real music instead of wowing the 15 year olds in Bollywood. That's how I see it.

Ron, without commenting on all of what you have mentioned, I put forward an idea for streamlining the interface specifically to reduce clutter, in May this year. There is a thread on it here PGM seemed to warm to the concept, so it might be successful in one form or another in a future release. Trevor
