I have to believe that fixing the Print function would be difficult - otherwise I am sure it would have been done a long time ago. Many of the options are really just work arounds. Repeats aren't really repeats, they are just print directions. The code by now must be a real mess and just not worth trying to fix. All the bugs, like not being able to print a DS at the end of a multi repeat or the 3rd ending showing up under the first ending are probably mired in layers of old code. Fix one and something else will be wrong.

I am all for shipping off the melody, chords and lyrics to a separate program that can do a better job. I would really like to see dynamic allocation of bar lengths. Sometimes you have a bar with a lot of notes and lyrics, followed by a bar of "nothing" There is no real reason for them to be the same length,or for one to bleed into the other. This is especially a problem at the end of a line where there is no where for the lyrics to go.

We can at least choose the number of bars per staff, but again this is a print directive. It is something that a smart program would have done automatically.

I really don't ever see this being fixed without "outsorcing" the printing function. PG Music should just admit it isn't worth fixing and the new Real stuff is where they will be spending all their resources. The option is to find a product to ship off all the information, and get a good clean Fake sheet or score.
