You might give 'em the benefit of the doubt, there.

There is no standardized format for the digitization of music print, so in order for one company to be able to export data that could be interpreted by the musicwriting software of another may have to involve a licensing psrtnership between the two, as well as the exchange of proprietary information.

And then there's the matter of the aging MIDI standard, which never included Chord Data, which means that programs that can import a MIDI file will have to have their own chord engine inside to figure out the chordnames from a MIDI file. Most music notation programs do include that now, so it is not that bad anymore, you should get your hands on a good music notation software that can accept a MIDI file and then export your PGMusic songs as MIDI, import them into the fullblown notation software for editing, tweaking, etc.

Don't get me wrong here, for I would love to see the wonderfully fast PGMusic Notation Emtry system get the improvements we all would like to have.

Recpommend that you make sure that you put any particular requests you have along those lines on the BIAB WISHLIS forum, where development looks for ideas when it comes time to hash out those 50 new features for a new release...
