I've never even tried the DMusic player, sorry. I don't even think it's on my hard drive. I agree about the irritating MIDI rush, and I very much dislike having to manually drag the instruments all the way to the left so that they can kick in properly on some tunes (can't find a reason why some tunes ALWAYS have this problem, and some tunes NEVER do). Fixes I am much more worried about include improper accidental notation convention that is used (ie, an accidental holds for the duration of a measure ONLY for subsequent pitches that are in the SAME OCTAVE. So an A# in octave two, followed by an A in octave three does not notate the second A with a natural symbol. It should) Anyway, I do like DMusic a lot, and while DMCS gave me better printouts with CopyistCompanion and The Copyist, the use of RiffGrabber has locked me into DMusic2. Thanks for sharing the story about the 'riffgrab' inspired song. Digital mutlitracking the way it should be used! Nick
