Groff
Chords can now be placed anywhere in a bar, not only on-the-beat. The
|
|
extended "@" syntax permits this. Eg. To place a chord change at
|
|
beats 1 and 3.5 you could "Cm@1 D@4.5". The old syntax works
|
|
fine. See the manual chapter on "Musical Data" for details.

** August 24, 2009 -- released test/dev version 1.5a
|
|
|
|
ALLGROOVES was not honoring and non-track commands. They were set,
|
|
but not saved into the groove. Fixed
|
|
|
|
Added slice notation for variables. You can now do cool stuff like
|
|
$myvar[3] or $_Bass_Octave[0].
|
|
|
|
OCTAVE settings can now increment or decrement by using values like
|
|
+1, -2, etc. This is handy!
|
|
|
|
ARTICULATE settings can now inc/dec by using +/- values.
|
|
|
|
For solo/melody strings an additional articulation can be set for each
|
|
note/chord. This is done in the <> by specifying a percent
|
|
adjustment. Values can be 1..200 (same as ARTICULATE). They are in
|
|
effect for the duration of the bar and are still adjusted by the
|
|
articulation setting for the bar. Handy for specifying staccato
|
|
notes. See the very fine manual for details. The Volume setting can
|
|
also have a default "Volume=" for compatibility. Future <> options
|
|
may follow.
|
|
|
|
MidiInc: The StripSilence=On/Off option has been added. Use to to
|
|
avoid stripping off any leading silence in an imported MIDI track.
|
|
|
|
** December 28, 2009 -- released test/dev version 1.5b
|
|
|
|
Enhanced the SEQUENCE define code so that multiple lines without '\'
|
|
can be used.
|
|
|
|
Added the Plectrum track-type. This track is designed to emulate
|
|
picked or strumed intruments like guitars. Quite complex and
|
|
generates nice sounds. Read the manual!
|
|
|
|
** February 14, 2010 -- released test/dev verfsion 1.5c
|
|
|
|
Fixed lib doc generation for plectrum tracks.
|
|
|
|
Added MidiCopyright, MidiCue and MidiText commands.
|
|
|
|
MidiVoice and MidiSeq - fixed so that {} not required for single seq
|
|
(as advertised in the docs).
|
|
|
|
Minor doc revisions.
|
|
|
|
Minor program code restructuring.
|
|
|
|
** March 27, 2010 -- released test/dev version 1.5d
|
|
|
|
Lyrics: \n and \r now start a new line in column 1 (not
|
|
2). Added Karmode: does syllable splits on '-', changes extension
|
|
from .mid to .kar and inserts some meta info.
|
|
|
|
Added global MidiTName command. This overwrites the song name
|
|
automatically inserted from the filename.
|
|
|
|
Added global MidiText command. Fills out the Track MidiText.
|
|
|
|
Modified code for Track MidiText and Track MidiCue so that the text is
|
|
now queued until the track is created. It was being put into the meta
|
|
track.
|
|
|
|
Plectrum bug fixes: Strings now mute properly on chord changes;
|
|
non-base tracks (like Plectrum-Banjo) now work with tuning changes.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a spelling mistake ... program changes should now come into
|
|
effect at the proper offset!
|
|
|
|
When running -g/G a check is made for duplicate groove defs. Please
|
|
don't ask how many hours I wasted editing the wrong file before I
|
|
noticed that I had an identical groove name in 2 different
|
|
files ... and the groove I was editing was not the one being loaded.
|
|
|
|
Created an archive directory for all the old CHANGES* files.
|
|
|
|
** April 11, 2010 - Released test/dev version 1.5d
|
|
|
|
RVolume, Rtime: Expanded syntax now accepts a range in the form x1,x2. The
|
|
old single value format is still (and will continue to be)
|
|
supported. This extended syntax permits fine tuning.
|
|
|
|
Plectrum: Now honors rtime settings.
|
|
|
|
Failure to find psyco on startup no longer generates warning
|
|
message. Honestly, it appears to make less than 2% of a speedup and
|
|
it will mostly likely be deleted completely in the next MMA
|
|
series. I'm guessing that both the MMA and Python code have gotten
|
|
better over the years.
|
|
|
|
Failure to find the default mmarc file now only generates a warning in
|
|
debug mode.
