Melissa, I'll bet you had the same problems as I did trying to re-establish connection with Compuserve (smirk). I took a look at the Bars&Pipes demo and It seemed fairly straight forward. I am currently using Dr.T's music software and what I like about the program is that I can access each note specifically-playing it back or just the immediate notes before and after it, then modifying it in the same menu (there are only 2 main menus) and playing it back to see the change. That's the nice thing about it is that there are only 2 main screens (menus/displays) that I have to deal with. The other midi programs that I have used (Music X, B&P demo) have so many different screens that I get lost and don't know where to go. I guess that when you use midi, you must come to expect complications, but I have yet to see a program that is as simple to use as Dr.T's MRS program. True it may not be the most FLEXIBLE program, but if I at least know what I am doing and know my limitations, then I can always get around them. Just some feedback, I still like the demo. :^) -rad

Bars&Pipes actually has only two main working "screens": the Main Screen, featuring the PipeLine, ToolBox and Sequencer, and the Sequence Editor window. Also, you can deal with things on a note by note basis in the latter. Thanks for your input, though!

Hope you don't think I'm panning your program. It has a very user friendly interface! :^) -rad
