Not at all off-topic, Cerio -- precisely on-topic, in fact. As much as BIAB is simplicity itself for some things, for others it's an exercise in remembering Where The Heck Was That One Setting Again. I find myself wishing that left-clicking on a bar number wasn't already occupied by the function of changing from substyle A to substyle B, because I could easily imagine a little window popping up for the major stuff in the right-click context menu, both for the substyles and the bar itself. The Songs settings could just have a button at the top, or a button on a separate dockable window. For that matter, we could have dockable windows for the chords, lead sheet, notation, audio editor, MIDI editor, and mixer, with tabs at the top or bottom or sides or whatever, and view or un-view them as we like, just like a bunch of other programs have been doing for years now.

I'm realizing, as we discuss this, that the problem isn't necessarily that BIAB does too much -- it's that the interface, long a point of discussion and complaint among users, really is getting too cluttered and clunky for the vastly powerful program underneath it. It's like disguising a Maserati as a Honda Civic.

Maybe we should move this to the Wish List, and start coming up with ideas and even sketch designs...?

Best,
