I somewhat agree with your comments on the manual(s) however as a Mac user and musician i rarely read them: the program should be intuitive and there should be a built in help manual that goes beyond the pdf manuals. I know that in many programs they love to hide the features which forces one to read the manual or turn to the forums.

In regards to the BIAB interface it has not changed since my days of starting with BIAB version 5. The visual of watching two keyboards with letters and small black blobs bouncing around still escapes the purpose. Oh, well it somewhat funny.

Now I know that MR PG has ported the PC version over to the Mac and at the time it was acceptable but please MR PG it's time to put your talents to work and make the interface more Mac ish and in line with Logic, Finale, Cubase, Metro, Digital Performer.

Time to give the BIAB interface a 2010 look just as the name of the program sezs: Band-in-a-Box 2010.5 for Mac.
