FluidSynth 1.0.3 released which is mostly bug fixes:
- fixed segfault that occured when loading SoundFont files with ROM
samples
- Some synthesis improvements relating to clicks in output from
immediate volume envelope releases and filter turn off optimization
- A few code problems that caused builds to break on some compilers
- Docs are now distributed and can be built with "make update-docs" in
doc/
- New RPM spec file for building RPM packages
RPM files are now distributed, a source RPM and Mandrake 9.1 binary RPMs
from my system. Cheers.

1. A short summary of changes
Bugs in build process were fixed. Support for transport
functionality in JACK 0.77.0 and newer has been added.
Transport functions are enabeld only if Ecamegapedal is
compiled against Ecasound newer than 2.2.3. Ecamegapedal
was verified to work if compiled against Qt-3.2.
---
2. What is Ecamegapedal?
Ecamegapedal is a real-time effect processor software with
a graphical user interface for controlling the effect
parameters. It is meant to be used as a virtual guitar-fx
or studio effect box. In addition to real-time operation,
ecamegapedal also supports reading from and writing to audio
files. All audio object and effect plugin types provided by the
ecasound libraries are supported. This includes ALSA, JACK,
OSS, aRts, over 20 file formats, over 30 effect types, LADSPA
plugins and multi-operator effect presets. Ecamegapedal's
implementation is based on ecasound and Qt libraries.
Ecamegapedal is licensed under the GPL.

Audio software for Linux!
For those of you who are interested in dj tools or tools for live
performance, Steve Harris has made a new plugin called DJ EQ which is a
three band EQ commonly found on dj mixing consoles. It's
currently only available in the snapshots directory.
You may also be interested in a new app we are creating based on the
code from JAMin. It's called jackEQ.
http://sf.net/projects/jackeq. No webpage yet and only cvs.
It is in its infancy but it already connects to JACK and has a one
channel (multiple i/o via qjackconnect) EQ and meter.
I would like it to be able to do all these things eventually:
unlimited channels.
jack port connection ala freq tweak style
route signal to monitor if monitor button is toggled for channel
independant monitor gain control (with meter) and output to alternate
alsa_pcm:outs
With the above I could use my four channel card as a complete djing tool
. You could also use a two channel card in a similar (mono) way.
The monitor will be assignable to seperate output channels than the main
outs. All the channels can be routed to it if needed. The eq's are all
adjusted before the signal arrives at the monitor.
This is how I intend to use it:
mon ch1 ch2 ch3 ch4 echo ardour

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.

Hi!
gmorgan is a .. Rhythm Station, an organ with auto-accompaniment and a "small"
Band in a Linux Box. Uses MIDI and the ALSA sequencer for play the rhythm
patterns. Styles, patterns , sounds, and the mixer settings, can be edited
and saved.
Program is released GNU/GPL version 2.
news v0.13 (18/08/2003)
----------------------------
- Added Record. Play, Load, Save and Export as Midi File of what you play.
- Minor bugs solved. Thanks to Robert Jonsson
- Added Stacatto-Legatto parameter for each accompaniment section.
- Re-arranged old patterns to the "correct" lengths.
- Solved bug in engine, now play the correct note length. That can modify
some patterns.
REQUERIMENTS
--------------------------
Linux
ALSA
Fltk
Midi Keyboard (Optional).

Hi!
First ... thanks to Guy Daniel Clotilde for their efforts in this project.
I'm pleased to announce the new gmorgan webpage:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/guy.clotilde/GMORGAN/index.html
Also i want to announce the version 0.10, the last alpha release, i complete
the initial idea, even adding some features not included in the initial
project.
News in 0.10
-------------------
Skin engine with some examples.
New Patterns. (First time i spend some time to do it .. and are not to bad).
Changes in initial look, help window, settings ...
Minor bugs solved.
In this momment this version is only availabel in :
http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/soudfontcombi/http://www.telefonica.net/web/soudfontcombi/
Now for me is time to think if i expand the capabilities of gmorgan, if i
spend my time in other project or if i go to the beach for the first time
this year ... and is 50m in front my house :-)
Anyway if i release new patterns or skins i will announce in the hlsu mailing
list.
Thanks to all, and sorry ...

Dear music enthousiasts,
LilyPond is an automated music engraving system: it is used to make
gorgeous sheet music. Use it for your music too!
Information, examples and documentation are available from the
completely redesigned website, which is at
http://lilypond.org
This release is focused on internal and external cleanups: Scheme and
LilyPond input can now be seamlessly mixed. Entry and layout of texts,
chord names and chords has been revised and cleaned up entirely.
Happy music printing!
Han-Wen Nienhuys & Jan Nieuwenhuizen
(core development team)
New features in 1.8 since 1.6
*****************************
* The chord entry code has been completely rewritten. It is now
cleaner and more flexible.
* A new syntax has been added for text entry. This syntax is more
friendly than the old mechanism, and it is implemented in a more
robust and modular way. For more information, refer to the section
on "Text markup" in the notation manual.
* The integration of the input language and Scheme has been made
deeper: you can now use LilyPond identifiers in Scheme, and use
Scheme expressions instead of LilyPond identifiers.
* The internal representation of music has been cleaned up completely
and converted to Scheme data structures. The representation may be
exported as XML.
* A new uniform postfix syntax for articulation has been introduced.
A beamed slurred pair of eighth notes can be entered as
c8-[-( d8-]-)
In version 2.0, postfix syntax will be the only syntax available,
and the dashes will become optional.
This will simplify the language: all articulations can be entered
as postfix, in any order.
* A new syntax has been added for chords:
<< PITCHES >>
It is not necessary to update files to this syntax, but it will be
for using LilyPond version 2.0. In version 2.0, this syntax will
be changed to
< PITCHES > for chords
and
\simultaneous { .. }
for simultaneous music.
To convert your files from <PITCHES> to <<PITCHES>>, use the script
included in buildscripts/convert-new-chords.py
This change was introduced for the following reasons
* It solves the "start score with chord" problem, where you
have to state \context Voice explicitly when a chord was
the start of a Staff or Score.
* With the new syntax, it is possible to distinguish between
articulations (or fingerings) which are for a single chord
note, and which are for the entire chord. This allows for
per-note fingerings, and is more logical on the whole.
* User code may now be executed during interpreting. The syntax for
this code is
\applycontext #SCHEME-FUNCTION
* User code may now be executed on arbitrary grobs during
interpreting. The syntax for this feature is
\applyoutput #SCHEME-FUNCTION
SCHEME-FUNCTION takes a single argument, and is called for every
grob that is created in the current context.
* New algorithms for chord-name formatting have been installed. They
can be tuned and have ergonomic syntax for entering exceptions.
* Texts may now be put on multimeasure rests, eg.
R1*20^\markup { "GP" }
* Ancient notation now prints ligatures in Gregorian square neumes
notation, roughly following the typographical style of the Liber
hymnarius of Solesmes, published in 1983. Ligatures are still
printed without the proper line breaking and horizontal spacing.
* Glissandi can now be printed using the zigzag style.
* LilyPond can now print clusters. The syntax is:
\apply #notes-to-clusters { NOTE NOTE .. }
* For irregular meters, beat grouping marks can be printed. The
syntax for this is
#(set-time-signature 7 8 '(3 2 2))
* Nested horizontal brackets for music analysis can now be printed.
NOTE-\startGroup
..
NOTE-\stopGroup
* Ottava brackets are now fully supported as a feature. The syntax
is
#(set-octavation 1)
* Metronome markings are printed when a \tempo command is processed.
* Fingerings can be put on chords horizontally.
* The appearance of various glyphs has been fine-tuned.
* Different types of percent style repeats may now be nested.
* The emacs support has been extended.
* The manual has been completely revised and extended.

Jack 0.75.0 has been released.
Changes:
Fixed pipe issues on Redhat systems (and others, perhaps)
I'd also like to point out a new program qjackctl
(http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net).
It's a qt interface for controlling jack and it looks very promising.
