A number of code fixes have been made to the Aria track. Chromatic
|
|
now works properly, CHORD scaletype now really selected by default,
|
|
and an enhanced random direction (now you can set direction to
|
|
r, rr, rrr, or rrrr. The docs for the Aria have been updated and
|
|
should now match reality. Also, Arias were not handled properly when
|
|
grooves were changed.
|
|
|
|
Alltracks: This command no longer effects SOLO, MELODY and ARIA tracks
|
|
unless they are specified. I think this (now) makes sense.
|
|
|
|
Mallet: When attempting to turn this off (rate=0) things didn't work out.
|
|
|
|
** November 10, 2007 -- released test/dev version 1.4a
|
|
|
|
Added STRUM capabilities to all tracks (except DRUMS). Increased strum
|
|
range. Strum can have a range for randomizing, eg. Chord Strum 20,30.
|
|
See the fine manual. Direction wasn't working at all with CHORD + STRUM.
|
|

I finally figured out how to get rid of the ugly `` '' quotes generated by
|
|
latex2html. Two steps are required:
|
|
|
|
1. have an init file $HOME/.latex2html-init and make sure it has the line:
|
|
$USE_CURLY_QUOTES = 1;
|
|
|
|
2. add the following command line option to latex2html:
|
|
-html_version 4.0,latin2,unicode
|
|
|
|
I must say it looks much nicer!
|
|
|
|
Due to a parser change the syntax for the LYRIC command has changed a bit. The SET
|
|
directive no longer needs to be the last item on the line. However, you cannot
|
|
have an "=" in a lyric (does this ever happen??). So, the line:
|
|
|
|
Lyric Set This is Split=Bar a lyric
|
|
|
|
will be accepted. The lyric is actually "This is lyric" and the option "Split=bar"
|
|
will be set.
|
|
|
|
VoiceVolTr and DrumVolTr were hopelessly broken. I think they now work as advertised.
|
|
|
|
PATCH LIST commmand no longer craps out with an error.
|
|
|
|
MIDINOTE -- a whole new set of midi instructions can be used to insert
|
|
controller events and note data into a track. Please read the fine
|
|
manual for details. This is major addition to MMA!
|
|
|
|
** February 9, 2009 -- released test/developer version 1.4c
|
|
|
|
Added command line options -b and -B. This limits generation to the specifed
|
|
range of bar numbers. Bar numbers are specifed as N1-N2 or N1,N2,Nn
|
|
or as a combinate like N1-N2,N3-N4,N5,N6. NOTE: for -b the bar numbers are
|
|
bar with "comment" numbers at the start of each line matching the
|
|
list; for -B absolute bar numbers of the competed file are used.
|
|
This option is VERY handy to compile a section of a file for debugging.
|
|
|
|
KEYSIG was not setting proper values in the MIDI file for minor keys.
|
|
|
|
Various variables setting filename, pathnames, midiplayer, etc. were
|
|
not permitting spaces in them. You can now create filenames with
|
|
spaces by using an "\x20". So, to set a midi file player "c:\program
|
|
files\my midi player" you would do:
|
|
|
|
setmidiplayer c:\\program\x20files\\my\x20midi\x20player
|
|
|
|
and it'll now work. The play command now works with spaces in the binary
|
|
as well as the filename. Any valid python escape sequences can be
|
|
used. See the Paths section of the manual.
|
|
|
|
SetMidiPlayer now supports mulitple "fields". The first field is the
|
|
program name, the rest are options. So, you can now do:
|
|
|
|
SetMidiPlayer timidity -Ow -Opt
|
|
|
|
On Windows a empty setting is permitted (the default player is used
|
|
on a windows platform in this case).
|
|
|
|
The -Dv option has been changed to -Ds. Whole bunch of sequence info
|
|
dumped. This will probably disappear in the future.
|
|
|
|
A new doc option, -Dgh, has been added. This permits mma-libdoc to
|
|
create pretty graphs of the sequences for each groove. The -Dxh
|
|
option now includes some html comments for each groove so that
|
|
mma-libdoc can parse out the groove and file data it needs.
|
|
|
|
The commands MidiCresc and MidiDeCresc have been added to fill out the
|
|
raw midi suite. These 2 commands function the same as MidiVolume,
|
|
i.e. them set the Midi Channel Volume for the synth.
|
|
|
|
** April 26, 2009 -- released test/developer version 1.4e
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in volume settings. When there is a left-over (de)cresc the
|
|
"future volume" stack is now cleared.
|
|
|
|
I have wrapped the metronome libarary files with a conditional
|
|
NOMETRONOME. This is handy if you normally want a metronome beat to
|
|
start your files but don't want it for performance. Just do "-S
|
|
NoMetronome" on the command line and the metronomes are gone.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes I stupid things! Using the Python decode("escape-string")
|
|
command to convert embedded \x20 sequences in filenames to spaces
|
|
was a stupid thing. Problem comes up in windows platforms when
|
|
python creates nice filenames like "foo\bar". The decode() now
|
|
converts the "\b" to a single backspace character. Not what we
|
|
wanted. So, now all mma filename go though a custom function which
|
|
looks for "\x20" sequences and converts them. Appears to work. And
|
|
(a plus) you don't (can't) use "\\" in windows path names; use a
|
|
single "\". Please let me know if problems.
