Re: [LAU] Denemo 0.8 Release -

Dear linux audio users and developers, Short version: ================== Denemo 0.8 is fresh, hot and avaible now! Grab your tarball @ http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/denemo/ (Windows binaries will join in later) and have a look at our newest features including full scripting support! If you are a programmer please help us to give Denemo JACKmidi/JACKtransport support so that its capable of blending with the rest of Linux-pro-audio. For contact, feature requests, bug reports and further information please visit http://www.denemo.org Interesting version: ================== Denemo is a music notation program for Linux and Windows (and MacOS some time ago) that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the LilyPond music engraver (because Lilypond is the reference and there is no sense in coding your own WYSIWYG notation apps). Its mainly controlled via your pc-keyboard with several edit-modes and shortcuts. Please note that we need help! Denemo has already many notation features build-in and if anything is not avaible you can enter Lilypond commandos and save them with your denemo file so that you can use the whole range of lilypond features. This means that Denemo is already capable of writing full, professional scores. But it lacks sequencer-features like advanced playback and routing via JACKmidi and support for JACKtransport. To really become the first usefull Linux notation-editor and notation-sequencer this is the last piece of the puzzle. Version 0.8 changelog: 1. A scripting interface to the Denemo commands has been created. 2. Example script-based commands are provided with the Denemo installation. 3. New scripts can be hand-written or "recorded" from a sequence of menu item clicks or by editing another script or a mixture of these. 4. New commands (scripts) can be installed in the menu system, given keyboard shortcuts, and generally used as other commands are. 5. The example scripts provided include a script showing the potential of Denemo for use in music education. In this example, random notes are generated and the user has to name the note. 6. Other examples include scripts for commands useful when generating scores with percussion, guitar fingerings, orchestral markings etc. 7. Various bugfixes and improvements to midi import have been made.
