Bill, by this point you probably feel like we are ganging up on you. Please feel free to continue the discussion.

I will just make two points (not including Charlie Parker).

One, about Cb, B#, Fb or E# I cannot dispute anyone's much better knowledge than mine of the classical repertoire, but as a composer, I encounter a need for these equally. I could not single out one of the four as being more important.

Two, Ray and Rachael's posts reminded me that one of the more fun discussions on the SONAR forum is about the need for better notation. I would have to say, despite it being among the top DAW programs, the notation is far worse than the implementation in BIAB. As Ray said, many of us use another program for notation. However, BIAB (unlike SONAR) gets better in this regard every new release. Head on over to the Wishlist and help PG Music improve the program with specific suggestions.
