Arlo, I have not updated my initial 5 Star review, and I am a true supporter of SLM, but I have to agree with others that 4.0 is somewhat of a step backward, primarily due to the removal of the Full Screen lyrics display as it functioned in V3. I agree that I can make the lyrics appear full screen, but the functionality and control is lacking that V3 had. If I am missing something here, then I have never seen an explaination of how to make it happen. I've made numerous tech support reports describing my situation, but I have not yet been given a satisfactory solution.
I agree, there are many good updates in V4, such as the Practice feature, and the improved device linking, but as a working musician, with everything riding on SLM, the Performance functionality is the only thing that really is important to me, and I feel I have lost part of that with V4. Ethically, I could not update my review indicating that everything is peachy keen, when in-fact it is not.
I am at somewhat of a loss as to why you can't add a Performance MODE, outside of the layout format, that V4 is based on. Your programming skills are almost magical with some of the features you have come up with, so I can't understand why a MODE feature that would mimic the old Performance Mode of V3 would be a major challenge.

PS.. I did just go in and add a favorable review. I see what you mean about the negative posts. Complete over-reaction.
