Jon, I was prompted by your thread to give Melody Assistant another try out last night. I had previously downloaded v 5.1.0 but could not get it to install properly (that's a fairly rare occurrence these days). I went back to the home page and tried again with a brand new v 5.1.1. It downloaded and installed fine. By the time I went to bed I'd been struggling with it for about 3 hours and I had to reboot 8 or 9 times after it had kicked me out.

The advertised features of this program are very impressive and it's a bargain basement price, BUT I am somewhat concerned that it has some basic stability problems. If it lived up to its promises it could be a very useful application for folkies, but I must admit I'm very unconvinced at this stage.

Regards, John
