[LAU] Laborejo Release 0.2 Announcement

Exactly one month after the first release, here is Laborejo 0.2! Laborejo, Esperanto for "Workshop", is used to craft music through notation. It is a Lilypond GUI frontend, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose. It works by reducing music-redundancy and by seperating layout and data. The next release is scheduled for May, 8th. One month from now.

Check Help->Manual for navigational and note/rest entry keys. Everything else is in the menus. New since version 0.1: - Repeats, Alternate Ends and Jumps in various forms. The main Feature for this release. - Playback Trigger ("Only reduce volume in the second repeat" or "Mute track if python weather module reports rain") - Master Track (Merges with every other Track. Use to structure your piece, make global changes, change tempo etc.) - Various Commands like "Join Selection to Chord" and "Add Octave to Chord/Selection" - The usual bread&butter bugfixing and improving. Most important known problems: * This is Alpha Grade Software. Don't use for long-term work. However, the produced midis and PDFs will last forever. * There is no built-in jack midi output yet. You have to export midi files. * Documentation is nearly non-existent. Have fun, it would be nice to hear from you! Nils http://www.laborejo.org
