[Denemo-devel] problems with 1.1.2

[Bric]

I figured I should move this out to a new thread. (WAS:  "duration, 
rhythm, metronome, etc., for MIDI-input?")

I compiled denemo version 1.1.2, seemingly OK.  After updating my glib 
(downloaded glib 2.39.4 source, compiled and installed it)

But then there were issues big and small(er):

(1) Denemo is segfault-ing when edit preferences, although, on first 
run, I think it was NOT segfault-ing.  I was able to uncheck "Highlight 
the cursor", click OK, and it didn't segfault at that point.  (BTW: 
Hallelujah! end of forced scroll animation!  BIG BIG help. Thanks)

(2) Contrary to what I was told in previous threads about copying my 
.denemo-xxx/actions/actions/Default.commands and 
.denemo-xxx/actions/Default.shortcuts :   copying just 
"Default.shortcuts" is not enough to preserve all the laboriously 
developed shortcuts.  One must apparently copy the Default.commands file 
as well.  In a previous thread Richard or someone else warns against 
copying over "Default.commands", saying that would mess up the command 
set.  But if I don't copy it over I lose my shortcuts!

(3) Typeset music failing to render a file that is rendered fine by my 
old (current) denemo 1.0.9

(4) More of a warning than issue, really:  Denemo xml files tend not be 
backwards-compatible.  So, when I opened in 1.1.2 a pre-existing 
*.denemo file generated/saved in 1.0.9, and FOOLISHLY re-saved it in 
1.1.2, I couldn't open it in 1.0.9 anymore.  Fortunately, apparently, 
all I had to do was change the line

<score xmlns="http://denemo.org/xmlns/Denemo"; version="7">

to

<score xmlns="http://denemo.org/xmlns/Denemo"; version="6">

and that appears to have fixed the problem, this particular time.
