Maybe an online petition or something? Something that is documented, so
we can say "Hey, MakeMusic, 1000 people want this".

That's just it, whether it's bug fixes, new features or improvements
to existing features, we need to lobby MakeMusic.
And then there's the old "you need that fixed but I need this new
feature added" quandary. I think that trying to restrict MakeMusic
from adding new features is like trying to get Microsoft to quit
acting like a monopoly -- it just ain't gonna happen.
But you are welcome to invite people to lobby MakeMusic with just that
point of view -- no new features until the current bugs are fixed.
Especially the bugs which didn't used to be bugs (hyphenation actually
worked at one point, as did enharmonic flipping in speedy entry).
There will always be new features added -- it's part of marketing.
They sure as heck aren't going to release a version which the only
slogan Marketing can come up with is "It's finally Fixed! Read all
about it, no bugs at all!" So we can either try to direct the new
features through lobbying them via tech support or we can sit back and
wait for the much satirized "ThoughtNotator(tm)" becomes a reality and
a big marketing hype.
But in the meantime be relentless in hounding them, and get others to
hound them, to fix the bugs which annoy you. And be willing to do the
same for the bugs which annoy others.
