Re: Mac testers needed for Frescobaldi!

[Sarah k Alawami]

Ok for all, here is my initial testing of said app. I wrote up a very rough 
usability document that expresses my concirns with the app. It can be found at 
the following link.

I hope this helps a bit. Should you have any questions feel free to contact me. 
I can't promisje to know all the answers but I can try. Be blessed to all.
