The core of the software was written in some programming language that was not supported on Macs until a recent change by them to a 'sort of' open operating system. The original software ran on Atari machines. What seems simple to you as far as writing software may be limited by the core functionality of the original kernel.

When something seems easy to the end user to accomodate and it does not happen it is due to complexity or some other constraint..

I suggest posting on the German language forum. They may have a workaround. As for me a utility I use to remap keys (shareware) was how I dealt with the software when my keyboard was in french.

I suggest exploring remapping keys.

I also suggest that all my machines have a toggle to put up the french keyboard or click click, English Canadian keyboard...

I'm sorry you think of this as UGLY workarounds. Perhaps you are entitled to the iron clad money back guarantee and can avail yourself of the return of the project so you don't blow a fuse.

This is after all the users forum, not the official pg music support forum. For that find the email addresses, either support or sales.
