[I should insert a line eater comment here but I'm too lazy today]

I also would like to see DMCS upgraded.  Are you listening, EA?  You
need smaller timing increments, fuzzy timing for jazz, ability to
switch voices on *any* note.  Better volume control(crescendo, etc.)
is a must and let me work on an interlace screen if that's possible.
Last but not least, upgrade your graphics dumps.  When printing out
two measures across, sometimes the measures are compressed to half
the page width which makes them impossible to read.  It's imtermittant.

You also need to support digitzed voices, and you need better support
of 8svx stuff.  I haven't tried the MIDI part of the program.  If I
can play my keyboard and have the data go into a song as fast as I 
can play it then that would be good enough.  You should give me a 
metronome for timing.

I really like the musical notation in DMCS.  It is the reason I haven't
dropped DMCS for any other program.  I play woodwinds and strings
so I am very familiar with the standard notation.  I think in it.
I don't want to learn some other non-standard notation dreamed up by
a programmer.  What worked for Bach and Beethoven is good enough for
Bourgeois!
