What price have you paid for other Macintosh music programs?

I've got Sibelius here. Cost a lot mo' than two hunnert.

And you really don't want to know what Logic has cost me an' Larry to date, much less ProTools...

And of those three, Sibelius is the only one that has never crashed, frozen nor not done something it was supposed to do at some point or another.

ALL of them have their weakpoints as far as GUI, or figuring out how to implement something or other quickly. The Sibelius manual looks like a Manhattan telephone directory. And it is dwarfed by the Logic manual.

And none of them are autoaccompaniment programs.

One neat thing about Sibelius is that it came with two licenses and can install on Mac or PC from the same disks. So I could put a copy on each of the two platforms here. And really there are two nice things about Sibelius, the second being that the PC version and the Mac version are virtually identical GUI's, give or take the things that have to do with the different Operating Systems.

I think that there is a good future for the Mac version of BiaB but it will take a bit more time to have that. Development has to catch up, if there was anything done wrong it was the loooooong time languishing as BBv12 for Mac that caused this problem. They have solved that problem, lets see how they handle the updates, new vesions, etc. before throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
