And I *never* use it for learning music so allow me to hide *all* music training features. Maybe provide a MIDI-mode where most of the screens & menus are MIDI and universal stuff. Likewise have a hide-all-MIDI option for those of us who never wish to use MIDI inside BIAB.

And one big point I'd like to make that has prolly been made before...improving the GUI *must* include *all* areas of the software! The main screen was improved a bit a few years ago but take a look at the Preferences window! OMG what a complex mess! This is a dialog screen that, in addition to a bunch of settings, also includes THIRTY BUTTONS that each launch their own dialog screen! My earlier suggestion to have presets would help here too because personally I will never need to touch about 95% of these settings and additional settings pages.

A new user will take one look at the Preferences screen and just give up! I am not a new user but here I am 12+ years later and I avoid even trying to deep dive and understand this screen!

YES,

I Posted about earlier in this thread.

But I think First things that should be done, are the same things Rustyspoon# said "Bugs" and "half baked features". to me their not bugs but unfinished things (half baked features).

I would say first the minor unfinished things then the main GUI, toolbars & window movement and placement. Then move on to Preferences and other things.
I would think the first few things would be the easiest to accomplish.

Everyone also please let's concentrate only what is in BiaB already and that could be made better. New features can come later.
