3. No Real Input On The Software Here, But...

I'm not sure I'm the target for such software.
First, I've never collaborated on songwriting. Once I have what I conside4 a good lyrics idea, the song sort of forms in my head. I don't think that approach lends itself to collaboration.
Now, I've completed demos then provided them to the band looking for input on arrangement thoughts and adjustments to suit others' style of playing.
[One example: I had a song we did for years called "Twist My Words". After the second verse there's a rhythm break followed by a guitar solo. I told the guitar player "Do what you want there, but notice it's got a weird feel. Keep it weird." He said "I can do weird."]
But, I glommed onto your post because you mentioned Sweetwater. Those guys are amazing! Back in July, I ordered a 12 string set. One pack of strings!
The next day, Dave Klausner called to tell me they shipped. Dave is the VP of sales!
The VP of sales called over a $15 pack of strings.
