Your primary instrument is Baroque cittern, right? No ciphers below the staff is a big drawback for lutenists. It limits you to 6 courses, unless you want to go to the trouble that Richard went to.

Also, unless they've greatly improved their interface since I bought it (which is quite possible since I never upgraded from version 3.7), it is very un-Mac-like, un-intuitive and generally a PIA to learn.
