15. The 256 bar limit.
A serious limitation from the 8 bit era, still present in BIAB 2015

16. The 8.3 filesystem issues.
Another standard feature of Windows 95 still not fully supported by BIAB

17. Drag & Drop support.
Just another standard feature from Windows 95 era, not fully supported in BIAB (think on a "Style Picker Windows" where you could organize your favourite styles simply by dragging & dropin' them)

18. "Section letters" don't appear in the main Window.
This issue was supposedly fixed on 2015 b411, but the problem is still there, http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=39046&Number=272055#Post272055

19. Allow Show / Hide / Resize functions for all the GUI elements.
Another standard feature in any modern audio program, and another very requested feature: we really don't need that enormous mixer right there all the time!

20. The resolution problems.
Actually only modern computers with very high resolutions can show the whole BIAB screen, whose GUI is just too big for computers with medium to high resolutions. Most modern 15'' laptops simply won't be able to correctly show BIAB's GUI (see also p. 6)

21. The Copy/Cut & Paste Audio Bug
This is a diffuse bug, I couldn't find a systematic pattern o situation where the problem always arises: Copying / Cutting Audio from the Audio Edit windows simply works erratically, especially with big audio files and files imported from the ACW with tempo-mapped bars.

22. The Vertical Scroll Bar Bug in ACW
The scroll bar on the ACW, instead of moving the chord grid vertically as it should, just moves the bar cursor horizontally, bar by bar. This makes very difficult having quick access to song parts that are not on the screen.

23. The chord navigation problems.
When you have a long song with many chords, navigating between different parts of the song is a nightmare: there are no visual markers, no zoom system, there is no way of showing more (or less) than 4 bars per row (BTW in ACW we have that possibility), and the scroll between chords pages itself (when the cursor reaches the last chord of the page) is just too abrupt and confusing.

24. The redundancy / disorganization of the menus.
Simply put, all the menus need a serious and urgent reorganization. Under the "File" menu, for example, there are no less than eight different commands (!!!) to open a song, most of them redundant (ex: " Open" already includes "Open Audio", "MIDI", "Kar", but they're there anyway, not grouped into a submenu, but in the same hierarchical level as the main "Open" command) and some of them simply unnecessary (ex: "Import MGU Song")
