| |
| With this release... | The Rosegarden team is proud to announce the release of version 15.08 of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux. |
| |
| ===== Bug Fixes ===== | http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ |
| * Changing note durations works correctly across barlines. So does adding dots to notes. | |
| |
| * Menu items have a somewhat more consistent style. | The steady stream of work from Ted Felix has served as the backbone of Rosegarden development all year. He has done an immeasurable amount of cleaning, simplifying, stabilizing, and organizing work to make the codebase cleaner, leaner, and more reliable in use. Michael and Yves have done a bit of work here and there, and recently there has been a succession of patches from Tito Latini attempting to address some old, tricky, and annoying bugs. |
| |
| * Certain crashes related to Paste commands shouldn't happen any more. | ===== Notes ===== |
| | * The code for the Instrument Parameters panel for MIDI instruments (MIDIInstrumentParameterPanel) has been simplified and cleaned up. Many small bugs were fixed along the way. |
| | * Do not allow saving over a read-only file. (Bug #1430, r13839) |
| | * A change to the field order in exported csound files. (Steve Conrad, r13862) |
| | * Stop sending reset all controllers messages (121) at playback. (r13867) |
| | * Change to knob (rotary) behavior. Center-click now centers while right-click sets to default. (r13889) |
| | * Added center-click and right-click behavior to faders to match knobs. (r13890) |
| | * Receive external checkbox on the MIDI Instrument Panel is now always available to allow selecting banks and programs even when no proper device file is available. (r13899) |
| | * Changes to the Studio in the Manage MIDI Devices dialog are now immediately reflected on the MIDI Instrument Parameters panel. (r13904) |
| | * MIDI volume and all other controllers in the device file can now be adjusted via the "external controller" port. (r13905) |
| | * Channels other than 10 can now be set for percussion. (Tito Latini, r13908) |
| | * Fixed a build issue where jack couldn't be found in newer versions of Debian. (Debian #773329, r13910 and r13911) |
| | * Fixed a crash where resizing the window could cause an endless loop. (Tito Latini, r13919) |
| | * Fixed a bug where the last track would get cut off when there was no horizontal scrollbar. (r13923) |
| | * Fixed a bug where the Track Buttons wouldn't get updated properly, leaving garbage on the screen. (r13940) |
| | * Fixed a bug where the notation interpreter would shorten tied-forward notes (r13943) |
| | * Fixed autoscroll margin bug |
| | * Fixed scrollbar single step behavior |
| | * Segment canvas auto-scroll behavior is now patterned after a combination of Chromium, the GIMP, and Audacity. Auto-scroll only occurs if the mouse is dragged outside of the viewport. In the vertical direction, the scroll rate is fixed. In the horizontal direction, the scroll rate is variable based on how far the mouse is outside the viewport |
| | * MIDI Import: Default channel mode to fixed |
| | * CompositionModelImpl::isCachedRectCurrent() in particular has been broken apart for analysis. Watch for problems with segment rect drawing on the canvas |
| | * Probably fixed a few memory leaks |
| | * Fix disappearing notation preview bug |
| | * Bug fix from Tito Latini fixes stupid obvious typo that has been around since the dawn of time, and maybe #1439 too |
| | * Try to improve maintainability and to remove possible bugs by replacing the redundant value notationWidget::m_linearMode with NotationWidget::linearMode() which looks directly at NotationScene::m_pageMode where the original value is kept |
| | * Fix the bug #1438 (Crash while pressing "Continuous Page Layout" in Notation Editor) using a method derived from the patch proposed by Tito Latini |
| | * Fix #1379 by using two macro commands, one to remove and one to insert. Patch from Tito Latini |
| |
| * The tempo dialog now defaults more sensibly to replacing the most recent tempo. | |
| |
| * Now when you change staffs in the notation editor (with Next Staff Down, etc) Rosegarden chooses the next staff more sensibly. | |
| |
| * When you open multiple segments in the notation editor, Rosegarden chooses a starting staff more sensibly. | |
| |
| * Range commands such as edit -> Cut Range now don't split segments. Previously only Insert Range kept segments intact. | |
| |
| * Range commands also try to keep linked segments linked together when possible. | |
| |
| * ... | |
| |
| ===== New Features ===== | ===== New Features ===== |
| * Controllers are now easier to place and arrange thru the Notation -> Adjust -> controllers -> Insert Controller Sequence... menu. The dialog isn't new but it is clearer than before and gives you more control over what is placed. This was a joint effort of Tom Breton (Tehom) and Tim Munro. | |
| |
| * "Move to Staff Above" and "Move to Staff Below" now have variants that ask what type of pasting to do; formerly it was always notation-style pasting. | * Previously, when in variations mode, the user would have to navigate back to the base (0th) variation in the Variation combobox before the other base variation programs would appear in the Program combobox. Now, the Program combobox always shows all of the base variation programs, allowing the user to jump directly to any of them. http://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/code/13838/ |
| |
| * It is now easier to create beat tracks, ie tracks that have a note on each beat for use with FitToBeatsCommand and/or groove quantize. See [[how_to_make_beat_tracks]] | =====Other people who contributed to Rosegarden development:===== |
| | * Tito Latini |
| |
| * For those users (both of you) who use Segment -> Expand Block Chord Segments by Figuration, there is now support for figurations without parameter chords. | =====People who contributed device files to the Rosegarden Library===== |
| |
| * Also for those who use Segment -> Expand Block Chord Segments by Figuration, there is Segment -> Update all Figurations, which tracks down all regions previously generated from figurations and updates them. | * Ted Felix (Kawai CA95/CS10, r13854) |
| | * Martin Brentnall (Yamaha MOXF, r13862, 2/3/2015) |
| |
| * Ornaments can now be [[how_to_edit_ornaments|inspected and edited]] inline, as notation. Formerly they were only available in the Event List Editor. | |
| |
| * If you want to try to use Rosegarden as a true layered editor, ornaments whose trigger consists of tied notes can even be set so that only certain sections play. | |
