Yea. Some users have complained about at least some of the UI elements being too small. This was affected by the shift to higher resolution displays. For me things like editing the tempo or velocity icons are super tiny and fiddly. That said, the rest of the program is good enough that it is worth it for me.

Holy $#!+ balls, why didn't I know of this? On Mac, it's COMMAND -/= (which are the +/- keys)

Which version did that show up in? NICE!!!

You know about the Shift-SPACE "Run" command (I hope)?
