  * Font scaling has been redone and looks at the display's DPI

  * GUILE-2.0 inside!  Fresh with 13 new cross build patches to get it
    to also...
  * Run on Windows
  * --debug option enables grey feta items and debug messages
  * Templates with lyrics, multiple staffs and multiple voices per staff

Using Guile-2.0 and Guile-Gnome and featuring .go-auto-compilation on
GNU/Linux and Windows.  The first run may be quite slow because of
this, the next runs are extra snappy.  Also, the first run on Windows
may fail, just run a second time.

Here are some screen shots

WHAT IS Schikkers List?

Schikkers List is a GUI for LilyPond.  Although there are several
advanced front-ends for editing LilyPond files, graphical as well as
text-based, none of them uses LilyPond to do the actual rendering.
Schikkers List aims to be a dumb snappy interactive graphical shell
and user interface, while outsourcing the smart music layouting to
LilyPond.


THANK YOU

Thanks go out to Nicolas Sceaux and Valentin Villenave for their
support and suggestions, to Han-Wen Nienhuys for finding an ugly font
scaling bug, to Patrick McCarty for his Guile-2.0 work on LilyPond and
to the Guile team, notably wingo and dsmith for their prompt help on
irc on my many questions getting Guile-2.0 to cross build and run
(esp. for MinGW).


Enjoy,
Jan.
