With all due respect, John, you can't speak for everyone, only yourself. I don't buy "designer water" or Starbucks or Dunkin'Donuts. I like 7-11 coffee and the coffee I make at home. If something works the way I need it to I don't care how it looks. I'm speaking for myself only. I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 for my lead sheets on the gig and there is no difference between my tablet and my bassist's iPad as far as display of tunes. In fact I can usually pull up a tune quicker than he can. The argument here is probably pretty well evenly divided. Using generalities is "generally" not very accurate. Happy playing, Ray



not trying to speak for anyone! especially not for seasoned BIAB users who are comfortable with how the software works. and you are probably right that the GUI issue is divided evenly within this product community BUT it is certainly NOT divided in the larger software community! you'd be hard pressed to find very many (or any) successful music software products that look as outdated as BIAB. every time I see BIAB mentioned in a music forum outside of this one (even by members of this community) there is always a disclaimer about the outdated interface. that is a shame that such an amazing product would come with such a negative disclaimer.

so, while I appreciate that you are comfortable with the software, personally I would much rather see its user interface improved and, as I said before, this will be key to the product's long term success path.
