Hi David,

Is task #2083 "get some sleep"?<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>Well, I'm afraid some of the regular participants in this forum might be thinking that I've been asleep for a long time, because I haven't been participating myself in the forum for a fairly long time, and because there hasn't been a point release (2.6), let alone a major release (3.0) for a long time.

Actually, though, I've been working as hard as ever, but had to divert more of my time in the last half year to just the business and marketing side of NS. You know, we have a recession going on these days. There's good news there for NS; we're doing fine; I'm quite optimistic that we'll make it through the recession. In not many weeks, you'll see an entirely new NS website. To be honest, the new website work is primarily an effort to help sales; but it will also provide better support. For example, I'm currently evaluating other forum software packages, to replace the one you're looking at now. Sherry and I will tear down the current forum and reorganize it into simpler categories, abandoning that experimental idea I had that the forum's organization should match the table of contents of the Users Guide.

Most of my development work on Notation Composer and Musician has therefore been delayed in the last year. I'm not happy about that. But I'll be resuming development work soon, to finish version 2.6, introduce two new products, and finish 3.0. A huge portion of that work was already completed in the last 2 to 3 years.

My track record for meeting promised release dates is poor, so I'm not promising any release dates. But all of the above is reality, not "vaporware" (remember that old term from the early 90s?).

Cheers
