[Denemo-devel] 0.8.18 features

[Richard Shann]

Here is the list of new features for 0.8.18 - anything missing please
mention.

      * Default behavior is now non-modal 
              * an easy to understand and very slick interface via
                keyboard 
              * seamless integration with MIDI controllers 
      * Maximize the space for the score (with/without user's choice of
        menus). 
              * Standard View - window size, zoom, number of systems etc
              * No-Menu version of this view
              * Page View - user chooses a window size, zoom and number
                of systems, which is stored with the movement for
                instant recall.
              * Single keyboard shortcut for toggling between these
                views (Esc by default).
      * Musical Snippets - store musical riffs/motifs to be pasted at
        will or as rhythmic templates for playing over.
      * MIDI transport work for JACK users.
      * Bug fixes: 
              * Fix Chord Symbols for music starting with triplets,
                grace notes etc.
              * Fix display of dotted rests
      * Arbitrary Tuplets built in: correct MIDI output as well as
        engraving, of course.
      * Diatonic Transposition: Shift notes and chords up and down
        respecting the current key signature.
      * Support for figured bass extenders, including those with no
        starting figure.
      * Better Paste command. 
      * Cursor can be highlighted, making it easier to locate
      * Page turning is animated: as the last line starts to play, the
        page visibly turns at the top.
      * Purely rhythmic notes playback using percussion - click tracks
        more easily generated.
      * Separate shortcut loading command
      * Split Notes and Chords to smaller notes while preserving the
        original duration (make a quarter note two 8th or tuplet of 8th
        or 7-tuplet)
      * Duplicate a Note or Chord as command
      * Command line interface for interactive scheme use
      * Support for the "French" clef (G on bottom line)
