eliminating the 3 chorus's would interrupt and gut the core BIAB program.
Hmmm, I don't think anyone suggested eliminating anything. Just change default behavior to the way the majority of users use the software!
And this is especially important for attracting new users; they are not interested in the quaint history of the wart or our tried and true work-arounds! They expect something modern.
And surely every time I start a new song and change choruses to 1 I have not gutted the core BIAB program?
