I see PG had to re-issue the download, I've never seen them do that before.

I will never cease to be amazed at the slack the some dedicated users will give to PG.


Dude, I don't go easy on PG if I have an issue. I've dumped on them pretty hard in the past. It's just that I haven't had much to complain about lately. Am I some super nerd? Heck no, I have issues and wishlist items too but most of the time like this point you're talking about, I don't have that problem and neither do a lot of other users judging from posts on the forum. A few do but not the majority. I notice you didn't address that point in your post accusing me of cutting them too much slack.

So they released a new beta update that they had to remove some hours later. So they made a mistake. So what? I'm not apologizing for them, it is what it is. Don't you use any other 3rd party software, especially DAW type software? I suppose those apps are perfect, never any problems with updates, right? Riiightt. If you believe that...

The majority of problems people report on this forum as bugs are not bugs. They may be an enhancement they wished was there but it's not a bug. A bug is specifically defined as an advertised feature that does not work properly. Lots of folks make incorrect assumptions when they read something about an enhancement. They THINK it's going to do something specific when PG never said that.

It's like Cerio talking about his screen space and the crowded icons. That's his system too along with mine btw. I had the same issue and posted about it. When I increased the resolution suddenly Biab looked much better and more in proportion. The problem was text was so small it was hard to read. Ok, so whose fault is that? Is it PG's fault that I'm not a 30 year old fighter pilot with eagle eyesight? No. Younger folks use those high resolutions and can read everything just fine. Older folks have to adapt. Simple as that.

Programs run best using certain configurations. Graphics cards, a CPU and ram are very important. Does that mean BIAB won't run on other setups? No, all that means is it runs better, faster or looks better or whatever on a different setup.

A company like PG simply CANNOT make every new version run just perfect for everybody running who knows how many different setups especially older PC's. They usually have it so it still runs ok, and the user can still get stuff done but is it going to run the BEST it can? No. Is is going to LOOK the best it can? No.

Or take his complaints about the notation and calling that a bug too. Show me where PG said notation was going to do what Cerio wants it to do. If it's not advertised or in the documentation then it's not a bug. It's simply another wishlist item. Or it's there but it's not exactly what we WISH it did. Like the Coda sign being superimposed either on top of or crowded right next to a chord symbol. Is that a bug? Yeah, maybe. Technically, the sign is there, it does print but it's pretty unusable so I've got a workaround for that. That's another "it is what it is" things and it's been in the Wishlist for years. You could argue that yes the coda is there but it's not displaying very well so it's a bug. Whatever.

Just have fun and enjoy the program.
