Always weighting the words, hey!<br>
I don't think it's a "complete stupid choice", as well as A4 is not
either. And if you don't need MIDI, I also think you might not want
to change, as all the bug fixed weren't criticals, and also because
the new GUI isn't that easy for someone not used to that scrolling
way (I insist, and that's what I've been able to check with starting
students).<br>
<br>
And I agree with Fons about the memory use too.<br>
<br>
Obviously, you and the whole staff did a really big work with A3 and
A4, and there's not point arguing it was better before, it was not.<br>
<br>
<br>
But I've to say that I felt a bit "lost" when the switch has been
done, telling my students that A3 arrived, A2 being unsupported, and
then finally telling them to wait a bit cause there were several
severe bugs to be fixed - which is no problem to me, that's the way
it has to be, and I suppose there was no way to allow A2 to open A3
sessions (to be able to get back). That's why even now, I feel safer
telling them to use A2, and telling them A4 exists but I cannot tell
them I'm sure it works, as I don't have tested the same way as A2,
for which there are bugs, known for most of them, and for the most
critical, I explain them what to do to avoid them.<br>
