John: I did not mean to offend anybody, but now I understand what made this discussion escalate: most of you are long-time-users of BIAB who are acustommed to every of it's quirks. I'm not. I just stepped in at version 2010 and there have been many situations where the BIAB did not act as expected. Many times I tried shortcuts which I have become accustomed to from other applications, running into trouble. But I do not want to start another "the interface is cluttered, outdated, non-standard and hard to learn for new customers"-thread here. I knew that prior to buying it and I know that there is no real alternative to BIAB despite a real band of professional musicians that's available 24/7. But the interface keeps being a pain.

There are other issues like songs with real tracks getting messed up / corrupted, such that I have to reenter everything, or when working on a lead sheet, suddenly a bunch of actions gets undone or replaced - without any reason - and I have to redo them, but these things only occure when heavily working with the program and they are hard to reproduce and thus I cannot simply report them because I do not know what to report, except "there are bugs in it".

All I want to do is music and I think I am with you here, but these obstacles sometimes kill my motivation.

On the other hand - you are right that PGMusic is very responsive and very busy adding new features and wishes. But IMHO, priority should lie on stability and usability of the core features, because this is, what new customers primarily step at when working into the program.
