Absolutely, Jo. I just wanted to bring this issue to your attention. It's one you should know about, that's all. No worries, please!
As for shooting a video, hahaha, now I first have to get things back to "normal" to even begin recording a demo. Then, who knows what will happen next?! Switching displays and moving MuLab around, starting it up again and again, it's all a mess right now.
I will try later again, I promise! I need a small break myself.

Well, I did my first song on the MAC with MuLab 7.4.6:

Really fun to work with. But I'm scared or too uncertain to give feedback on working with an "old" macbook pro on OS X 11.x "El Capitan", because it's outdated, apparently. On the PC I feel far more comfortable giving feedback, because I know the ins and outs, of course.
If you would enjoy reading about my experiences, I could tell you a few more curious things about working with 2 monitors. On the primary monitor the mouse pointer behaves differently than on the secondary, while the behavior on the secondary is far more pleasant and more similar to the actions on the PC.
...to describe what's happening sounds like I was insane, hahaha. 
(Primary Monitor: Sequence Editor...creating a note with the mouse will make the note visible, but it won't play it until the mouse pointer leaves the note.)
(Secondary Monitor: Sequence Editor...creating a note with the mouse works immediately like on Windows.)
(Primary Monitor: Sequence Editor...mouse pointer over a note turns to eraser, even if you just move the note.)
(Secondary Monitor: Sequence Editor...mouse pointer over a note stays arrow, making it feel more natural to move the note.)
The other fun part is where the child windows pop up, because they default to being on the primary monitor. If you have MuLab on the secondary, this can get a bit confusing, of course. I might have wished it was somehow relative to the parent window, but that might cause more confusion, if you move the main window.
Lots of funny things, but overall everything works well and good! I've had quite some fun making this song.
