I agree, but do any of these other programs have the functionality BIAB has? I don't think so. We would all love for PG Music to catch up to the rest of the world but frankly, I don't believe that will happen anytime soon.

However, BIAB does what I need it to do, and what it was designed to do, and that is to create automatic accompaniment by inputting a set of chord changes. In a very small amount of time, I can input a tune and have a band play behind me and have the ability to change the style, tempo, or key and play it however long I want to.

A newer interface wouldn't change this, just make it nicer to look at and more appealing to the ipad generation. XML export ability would sure be nice though. It has been on the wish list for several years.
