Excellent points Eddie.

Would be great to have a simpler, more intuitive notation for rests and holds etc which would let you enter a number(s) in there for each so I would at least have a starting point from which to add or subtract .5 or.25 to get what I/m hearing in my head into the program.

Maybe just a right click on the appropriate symbol and a box to enter the duration + or- would do it?

For someone like myself, who enjoys writing songs but with little formal musical training or knowledge,( can't read or write music except for chord tabs and pretty much play by ear when composing) something like this would be great.

If the current system is confusing to a trained/experienced musician like yourself, imagine the struggles for a "Musical Moron" like myself.
Sorry if that's politically incorrect but I feel that way sometimes trying to decipher some of the musical terminology.

I hear a song in my head and want the fastest, simplest way to get that song played in BIAB/RB with all the pauses and inflections or "feeling" the program can offer.

I'm sure, judging by the amazing things they've accomplished so far, PG can come to the rescue of MM's like myself and all the other's who love using their programs and just want to make them a little better.

Time will tell. (but is it 3/4 or 4/4 or ????????)
