PETER DA SILVA  I can't move the main window... it's stuck in the upper left corner of the screen. Clicking the "greyed out" maximize icon in the window reveals that this is actually a full-screen Windows style MDI application with a fake OS X window hidden inside the real main window... and the main window has no title bar.

They would actually have done better to make it a plain X11 port. This is so bad a design that I see no reason to bother investigating it further.

BMONNO  I'm able to move the main window, resize it and the maximize button works. So I don't understand the comment of PETER DA SILVA.

BMURRAY  This version and the current stable (1.3.3.10) are basically unusable on an Intel Mac for projects in excess of about four pages. 1.3.5 is anticipated in May and will have a native Intel build which may or may not be usable -- we'll see.

MACROXX  Unfortunately the PPC version is very slow on my intel mac. Hopefully a universal binary or intel version will be available soon...

JIMW  Suggestion to old Ragtime Solo users:

Since Ragtime has discontinued Ragtime Solo, it might be wise to convert your files to this product, before Solo becomes incompatible with the newer Mac OS's.

This is a definite possibility since it is my understanding that Solo no longer supported.

Unless this product includes a converter, copy and past should do it after creating the appropriate layouts.
