ROSEGARDEN 15.10, codename "Oranges and Lemons" RELEASED
The Rosegarden team is pleased to announce the release of version 15.10 of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux.
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
With this major bugfix release, we have managed to recapture some of the old dynamic from the golden era. Tito Latini joined the project briefly, and went on a bit of a rampage, fixing bug after bug. Yves got in on the effort, and contributed several important fixes. Ted has continued fixing crashes before they even happen, and just generally being a quiet genius. Even Michael wrote a little code here and there.
This is one of the best releases we've turned out in years, and we strongly encourage everyone to upgrade immediately!
Bug Fixes
Fix various bugs with control rulers: control items outside the segment, add and/or move control items after horizontal zoom, recorded MIDI CC after horizontal zoom
Fix MIDI export with events before the bar 1 of the composition (bug 1258)
Fix importing banks from soundfonts (bug 1417)
Fix double note-offs in playback (bug 1427)
Fix split points during MIDI import (bug 1429)
Fix scrolling while drawing loop/range in notation/matrix views (bug 1222)
Also fixed scrolling for control items in notation view
Fix noteoffs in loop mode (bug introduced in r14092)
Fix midi input after r14095
Fix problem with sustaining notes while adding notes with the pencil tool
Also avoids moving playback position in playback mode, allowing editing of a loop in real-time
Fix subordering of grace notes added before Indication events (bug 1215). If we add a grace note before an Indication event, the event of the grace note precedes the indication. If we add an Indication event where there is a grace note, the inserted event precedes the grace note
Fix drawing of the control ruler in notation view after horizontal zoom
No weird message with synth plugin and pedal sign in notation editor (bug 1424)
Ignore duplicated noteoffs immediately. Also avoid a useless event-type zero (SND_SEQ_EVENT_SYSTEM) when a
noteoff is duplicated
and if the immediate event (realtime) was a note, it was time shifted and shortened (also with zero duration)
Fix black space beside track headers (bug 1441)
Fix persistent invisibility on rests (bug 633)
Fix several interrelated bugs involving performance vs. display duration causing cut and paste operations on notation quantized notes to behave strangely (bug 1440)
Fix erroneous split of rest when inserting triplets (bug 980)
Fix excessive warning dialogs during step recording (bug 1445). Avoid step recording unless the edit view is the active window. Fail silently when inappropriate tool is selected, rather than bombarding user with cryptic errors
Fix DSSI synth used with unsuitable channel setup after stop-recording
CMI: Fix potential memory corruption
Fix segfault if a Segment is not in a Composition
Use getGreaterDuration() where it is opportune (reduces duration-related glitches)
Fix selection drawing after mouse-button release with matrix-velocity tool.
Fix bug #1446 First step: A segment which is not linked with a still existing segment is no longer flagged as “linked” when saved in a .rg file. Second step: A segment previously linked then left alone when others segments have been deleted is now copied into the clipboard as a plain segment and no longer as a linked one
Fix segfault in ~EventSelection (bug 1449)
Fix copying a linked segment with arrow tool and Ctrl+move (bug 1450)
Fix settings memory in the quantize dialog (bug 1447). (It turns out this had been broken for five years!)
Fix rests after “Remove Notation Quantization” command
Fix duration in “Fix Notation Quantization” command
Event quantize command doesn't change segment duration
Fix “Open hand cursor is obnoxious” (bug 1452)
Control rulers handle volume and expression controllers properly (bug 1451)
Limit event duration in “Fix Notation Quantization” command
Normalize rests in “Fix Notation Quantization” command
Fix the region to normalize the rests during the quantizazion
Fix the position of the last micro event of a segment
Ignore quantized events moved outside the segment
Don't move events outside a segment in notation view
Update selection drawing after editing in velocity ruler
Update selection drawing in matrix view when a segment status is to refresh
Use MidiBank::partialCompare() instead of op==
MidiBank::operator==() is a full comparison of all fields as is proper. partialCompare() compares all fields
except name (bug 1443)
Discover and fix two more bugs similar to Bug #1443
Fix notation time and duration in linked segment (bug 1453 and numerous related, unreported bugs)
Constant thickness for a selection in matrix view
Optimize the range to normalize the rests after quantization
“Paste events” command doesn't change the time/duration of a segment
Fix snap to grid in matrix view
Fix rare track height issue when recording; if recording caused the track heights to change, and stopping also caused the track heights to change, the height of the TrackButtons would get out of sync
MidiFile: Improve alien chunk handling; findNextTrack() now implements alien chunk skipping as recommended
by the MIDI spec
MidiFile: Improve header chunk handling; Also reduced the scope of some variables in parseTrack() to make the code a little easier to follow
Fix 1455 and other related problems with LilyPond complex alternate endings
Fix broken MIME type so our files display in graphical file managers with our icons again (fixes 1454)
Fancy repeat endings should now be correctly handled in LilyPond export
Fix translation of error messages from LilyPondExporter
Fixes bug #1439, MIDI Import Modifies Bank Selects. Now,all bank selects and program changes are imported as-is. Once
a track is imported, the events at time zero are checked to see if any of them can be moved to the Instrument configuration
New Features
Velocity ruler enhancement: Change the velocity items of the notes selected in matrix or notation view; Without selection, pick and drag a velocity item
Improve MIDI file conductor track handling on import (r14227)
