Unfortunately, only a few people would buy a new version BIAB without the '50 new features'. It'e not a big selling point to say 'we've just fixed 150 menu problems'

I really would like them to take the time to do all of that clean up, but the cost would be enormous with very little positive new income. Plus, as many have said, this is an old product with hundreds, if not thousands of additions over the years. As an ex-programmer, I know that unless you really know what you are trying to fix, and all of the interactions, any change can be disastrous. And without hours of testing and quality control, you might be worse off than before.

It seems they can fix the new stuff pretty easily (eg real tracks) but not the legacy product. Just look at all the requests for Notation / Music XML that have gone unanswered, but they were able to add synsys which is XML related.

PGMusic has to put its money into getting us to buy a new version every year. I am not sure how many would buy a version that is just fixing errors.
