The Rosegarden team is proud to announce the release of version 13.xx of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux.

With this release…

• Changing note durations works correctly across barlines. So does adding dots to notes.

• Menu items have a somewhat more consistent style.

• Certain crashes related to Paste commands shouldn't happen any more.

• 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.

• …

• 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.

• 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

• For those users (both of you) who use Segment → Expand Block Chord Segments by Figuration, there is now support for figurations without parameter chords.

• 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.

• Ornaments can now be 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.
