Your staunch defence of PG Music continues to amaze me.

Are you suggesting that (a) the code for BIAB is so old that parts will not compile on a Mac? Seriously? So re-write the damn things in Mac code - if others can do it, especially for a potentially big market, and growing, then PG Music should be able to do it. After all - they've got 90% of the program running on the Mac - and that runs very nicely. They can do it.

And as for suggesting that people go out and buy a PC to run BIAB while doing the rest of their work on a Mac - I'd suggest you get back in the real world. That is NOT a fix for what is a glaring set of omissions from the Mac version.

Nope - there is a problem, real not imagined, whereby the Mac version is lacking numerous features that the Windows version has. My own main interest would be in the lead sheet and notation department.

The solution to the problem is to fix it, whether it's a rewrite of sections, or a re-compile, or whatever. The solution is NOT to go out and buy another computer just to run BIAB.

I haven't heard such a silly suggestion for a long time!
