All I wanted to _state_ was, that there is a BUG in BIAB regarding different keyboard layouts and all I wanted to _hear_ is "yes, you're right, bug confirmed, will be fixed in next release."



Hi, Andi -

I think we HAVE read your posts. Again, this is a user forum where you can get help using PGMusic products, because we've all had frustrations of one kind or another while using BIAB or RealBand. They're great programs, but they're not perfect. And they fill a niche that no one else does.

I think we have all confirmed what you already know as to which keys work and which don't, but it's up to PGMusic to decide whether and how to fix it, and they generally don't announce what will or will not go into the next version. We on the forum here can't answer "will be fixed in next release", because we're just users like you are. And PGMusic, I don't believe, is obligated to announce it either.

You have stated that reported it to PGMusic, as is appropriate, and they will make the decision as to when and how they fix it.

In the meantime, we have given you a workaround; actually, it's the way it works - I've been using the "3" key since version 8 or 9 of BIAB (that's version 8, not 2008). It's the key that works.

For a Software Company with international sales, proper localization (in terms of keyboard layout, not interface language) of their products is a must have, not a "feature".

Just imagine Microsoft Word hard-coded to US-Layout....



Since you brought it up, I will say this: how often have you been on a Microsoft forum with a problem with Word (which isn't perfect, either), and had Steve Balmer respond with "just send me the file you are having a problem with and I'll personally take a look at it"? Well, Peter Gannon, the president of PGMusic, does frequent this forum and does exactly that. But, I don't believe he is under any obligation to publicly respond to individual fix requests. Microsoft certainly doesn't do that.

Good luck and let's hear some music you've done using BIAB. Because, in the end, that's what it's all about...the music...
