ROSEGARDEN 1.7.0 RELEASED

The Rosegarden team are proud to announce the release of version 1.7.0
of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor
for Linux.

  http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/

This release focuses mostly on notation enhancements, although there
are also substantial bug fixes in other areas.

The world of sequencer software for Linux is becoming increasingly
well populated with projects designed for different types of user --
with the appearance of QTractor, a MusE stable release expected soon,
Ardour 3 in the pipeline for studio users, as well as commercial
software such as Renoise, and old favourites like seq24.

This is great for Rosegarden, as it means we no longer feel we have to
please everyone: we are able to concentrate on the area that we find
most interesting for Rosegarden, namely as a sequencer for people who
also like to work in notation.  Of course, all of the other existing
features will continue to be supported and to evolve, but we have a
clearer focus for the future than we have had.

The 1.7.0 release includes new contributions from established project
members Heikki Junes, Arnout Engelen, and Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas.
Translator Yves Guillemot has come over to the development side as
well.  New members Philippe Macaire and Jaakko H. Kyro have joined the
development team, while Gunhild Andersen has joined us as a
documentation writer.  We have also had code contributions from Colin
Fletcher, Alessandro Preziosi, Stefan Asserhall, "Flameeyes" Petten?,
and Anders Dahnielson, and a segment parameter presets database update
from Magnus Johansson -- and many new device library contributions.

Progress during this release cycle has been slow but steady, with
relatively little developer time available from the core team, but for
this release -- coordinated by D. Michael McIntyre -- we have managed
to bring together more contributions from more people than in any
previous release of Rosegarden.


New Features in 1.7.0

   * Track headers in Notation view (Yves, since rev 8355)

   * Test to see if a newer version is available, to help users stay 
up to
     date when distros sometimes carry quite old versions (Chris, 
since rev
     8374)

   * New Welcome dialog that attempts to help you tweak your setup for 
best
     results (Chris, since rev 8374)

   * Notation: The preferred stem direction in a chord around the 
middle line
     is down, which better meshes with LilyPond (Heikki, since rev 
8381)

   * Notation: The preferred beam position in a beamed group around 
the
     middle is below (Heikki, since rev 8383)

   * Add icons for Add tempo and Add time signature in NotationView ->
     Composition menu (Heikki, since rev 8415)

   * Move to Staff Above or Staff Below to make sorting out 
overlapping voice
     parts considerably easier (Chris, since rev 8545)

   * Radically reformed grace notes now work correctly for the first 
time in
     Rosegarden's history, and are now easy to use (Chris, since rev 
8557)

   * Sync segments to track parameters (correct clef, transpose 
notation,
     alter key signatures, highest/lowest playable notes) available as 
option
     when using the load preset button in the Track Parameters Box, 
which
     greatly simplifies the process of converting a standard MIDI file 
into
     notation suitable for real musicians who play transposing 
instruments
     (Arnout, since rev 8583)

   * "Convert notation for..." function added to notation editor to 
provide
     another mechanism for using the sync segments functionality 
(Arnout,
     since rev 8593)

   * Expanded/corrected instrument presets database (Magnus Johannson, 
since
     rev 8597)

   * Export markers to LilyPond (Jaakko H. Kyro, since rev 8618)

   * Alternative shortcut for Play/Stop in laptop use: Ctrl+Return 
(Heikki,
     since rev 8626)

   * New track parameters for exporting square, curly, and nested 
brackets to
     LilyPond, making it possible to produce true piano notation and 
complex
     orchestral scores properly for the first time, without hand 
editing of
     the .ly code. (Replaces the now deprecated "Export staff group 
bracket"
     option with this new and much more flexible scheme.) (Michael, 
since rev
     8637)

   * The transport mode setting is now stored with and restored from
     individual compositions (Philippe, since rev 8646)

   * Export the new radically reformed grace notes into LilyPond 
syntax
     (Heikki, since rev 8648)

   * Now ties can finally be flipped (Chris, since rev 8653) and the 
flipped
     ties exported to LilyPond (Michael, since rev 8655)

   * Arbitrary dynamics exported to LilyPond as markups if they are 
not on
     LilyPond's list of supported dynamic types (Michael, since rev 
8687)

   * Manually repositioned rests (as when rearranging badly rendered
     overlapping voices) are now exported to LilyPond (Michael, since 
rev
     8694)

   * Set a quick playback position marker in the main window with 
Ctrl+1 and
     recall it with 1 (Philippe, since rev 8705)  (Sets working visual 
marker
     in rev 8803)

   * New variable height tracks finally make working with overlapping
     segments (eg. to contain concurrent voices for notation purposes) 
an
     easy and reasonable process, instead of the nightmare it has been 
for
     years (Chris, since rev 8740)

   * Smarter selections in matrix and notation views now allow you to 
remove
     individual, previously-selected events without beginning the 
entire
     selection process from scratch (Michael, since rev 8744 (matrix) 
and
     8748 (notation))


New Documentation

   * Five new informal supplemental tutorials by D. Michael McIntyre:
     http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/

   * Users Helping Users:
     http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/users_helping_users

   * Wiki moves from SourceForge to our own site:
     http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/


Significant bug fixes since 1.6.0

   * Serious overhaul of MIDI import to avoid scrambling karaoke and 
similar
     files into complete chaos (Chris, since rev 8515)

   * Fix text codec dialog that appears when importing MIDI files with 
lyrics
     (Chris, since rev 8536)

   * Splitting the segment now really splits the segment (Chris, since 
rev
     8538)

   * Track Parameters now displays the correct track (Chris, since rev 
8539)

   * No more mysterious zero-length segments on import (Chris, since 
rev
     8540)

   * Align lyrics with rests so they appear at the correct time, if 
only
     lyrics and rests in a segment (Chris, since rev 8541)

   * Fix inability to build without JACK (Flameeyes' Petten?, since 
rev 8546)

   * Fix broken pitch chooser dialog to correct accidental display and
     draggability (Arnout and Michael, various revisions since 8555)

   * Replace perpetually broken grace note functionality (Chris, since 
rev
     8557)

   * Fix crash when deleting a device that was in use (Chris, since 
rev 8558)

   * First note after 8va or 15ma section no longer at wrong octave 
(Chris,
     since rev 8559)

   * Correct display of flipped stems in certain situations (Chris, 
rev 8560)

   * Repair very tricky ruler bug that prevented the composition from 
being
     able to start anywhere other than bar 1 (Michael, since rev 8573)

   * Take track transpose into account when recording, move notation 
by the
     opposite amount, so the end result sounds correctly when played 
back
     (Michael, since rev 8576)

   * It is now possible to tie notes that have shorter performance 
durations
     than their display durations (Chris, since rev 8595)

   * Renamed spurious Halve/Double Speed functions to Double/Halve 
Durations
     and assigned new keybindings (Heikki, since rev 8615)

   * Headers for the files in the Rosegarden library rewritten so that 
all of
     them show up in everyone's file dialogs (Anders Dahnielson and 
Michael,
     since rev 8666)

   * The notation view no longer assumes it is always necessary to 
display a
     time signature, which eliminates a lot of extra time signatures 
that
     used to have to be hidden by hand (Chris, since rev 8679)

   * Above/below directions of phrasing slurs now exported to LilyPond
     correctly (Michael, since rev 8680)

   * Hidden key signatures ignored during LilyPond export (Michael, 
since rev
     8693)

   * Corrected a problem whereby you could edit the second of two 
markers at
     the same time position, and have the changes apply to the first 
one at
     that position (Philippe, since rev 8706)

   * Build system tweaks and a fix for building with librdf in an 
unusual
     location (Pedro, since rev 8829)
