I think this falls under the one piece of software that is trying to do it all and PGMusic is not alone in this. Biab is an accompaniment program that adds basic notation. It is not a notation program.

The same conversation is going on over on the Sonar forums, a lot of users are complaining about the poor notation in Sonar. Sonar is a DAW not a notation program.

Just think about this for a minute. If you want the best accompaniment program you buy BiaB, you don’t buy it for notational purposes. If you want full-blown notation you should buy a notation program. Just think how you would feel if PGMusic took the basic notation they have now out of the program!

However it is a good idea to add your improvement ideas in the wishlist forum. You never know!

Note that I hope PGMusic spends more time improving the accompaniment side than the notation side, but YMMV.

Also note that I agree with you on this issue but I think a notation program is a better fit, but that’s just me.
