well, John, it's just amazing to me how such a great idea for a product can be developed so poorly. An example: the interface never got updated since I first used the program, back in the early 90's...

It really has the potential to replace any type of sequencer/karaoke machine/quick arranger, in stead, all it really is usable for, is for horn players to practice their improvisations. I watched the "new features" video for the mac version, and all I saw was a bunch of bug fixes, that should had been there in the first place, when the "real"-thing started (I missed that update, and I see now that I didn't miss much...:-)) Ear training? Games? "Guess-my-vocal-range"? Soloists? Why?...These are all separate applications having nothing to do, in my opinion, with the original intent of the program: create good backup tracks from the given chords. Why not put in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe?...

So, I'm writing here not because I need help, but because I'm disappointed. Still, I hope that someone other than "users" might be reading this and taking note. Who knows, maybe version 2020.75 will be just the right thing... I just hope I'll still be around to see it :-)

P.S. I'm sick of "workarounds". We, computer suckers, always rely on them when something is supposed to be there and it's not. It's like you get a new car without wheels... but don't worry, the wheels are coming for sure in the next version. In the mean time, here's a workaround: put your car on a platform and push...
