Symbolic Composer 5.3 (Mac OS X)

Double-clicking on the App doesn't launch anything  

I downloaded the SCOM 5.3 DISTRIBUTION disk image and moved the Symbolic Composer 5.3 folder into the Applications folder, and inside that, I double-clicked on the SCOM 5.3 application and...nothing happens. I get a sense that there's some setup involved and this thing works in conjunction with other applications, but the only thing resembling a read-me file is tucked away in the Environment folder - and it doesn't give you any kind of overview. How silly to spend however many man-months writing an application, but not give any clue as how to use it. ????? Oh wait a minute, inside Environment is a Reference folder. I believe we have a manual! If I can figure it out, I try using it and get back to this page with more in-depth comments. BOTTOM: not providing a read-me file or an alias to the manual text is anti-social, anti-Mac, and self defeating. [alert admin]

One off the funniest program I have tried  

As far as importing .MID files into Garageband, that capability has been in since Garageband 2. The way you do it is drag and drop onto the area of the main window below where any tracks are.

Yes, it launches on PPC and looks to have an upfront help system. I guess the Rosetta box, mentioned in the previous comment only appears on Intel-built apps, not PPC-built apps. I still think a read-me file in the root level folder of this app folder, entitled "Attenion Intel Mac Owners" that explains if and when an Intel version will be available is the cost of doing business on the Mac…

UPDATE: I see, its PPC only for 10.4 and I have an Intel Mac. Shouldn't there be a way to run under Rosetta (or at least, if you can't run under Rosetta, a graceful way to announce that - even at l least in a read me?) The Get Info window does not an "Open using Rosetta" checkbox - I guess that's way this developer chooses to inform. I'll try it…
