This bears out the CompuServe MIDI Forum membership's collective
sentiment: Personal Composer is an expensive and unreliable headache.
If there is any interest, I can post copies of woeful testamonials
from users who had just gotten track 'perfect' and were ready to save
it when PC gobbled it into the bit bucket. Worse yet are the tales of
attempted contact with the author, and zero support. Couple this with
horribly overdue bug fix/update cycles, and this product gets a
collective thumbs down. I ended up buying Voyetra's Sequencer Plus
MKIII last year because it received the exact opposite review...
stable, good support, and a responsive company. Note that there's no
scoring facility built into SEQ+.
