Hi Christopher,
Only that I did let them know how many of us were irritated by this.
By the time I was making the point forcefully and personally to Jim
Bruce, the new interface had already been in development for a while.

Apparently, if you are in Speedy Entry and use the 9 key to flip an
enharmonic in a chord you are entering, then try to explode the
chord to separate staves, there are strong risks that the chord
with the flipped enharmonic will NOT explode properly, but will
assign all staves the lowest note in that chord. Furthermore, the
note will not even be spelled consistently from staff to staff
(i.e., Ab on some and G# on others.) Unflipped chords seem to
explode correctly. If you never touch the 9 key, and only flip
enharmonics AFTER explode, you may avoid the bug. I am testing this
theory now, and checking all my exploded parts afterwards is adding
BIG time to my work.
I haven't checked for some other long-standing bugs yet, like the
shape designer handles being about an inch off in 2006, or the
repeat expressions not keeping their places. Hyphens in lyrics are,
of course, not right, and the untransposed chord symbols in
Chromatic Transposition are unaddressed.
