[ANNOUNCE] ly2video 0.4.1

[Adam Spiers]

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the release of ly2video 0.4.1.

ly2video is a Python script which converts music represented by a GNU
LilyPond file into a video containing a horizontally scrolling music
staff which is synchronized with a MIDI-generated audio rendering of
the music.

You can download it from here:

The most significant aspect of this release is a complete redesign and
rewrite of the A/V synchronization code, which should make it *far*
more robust and easier to maintain:

Advantages of the new algorithm include being able to correctly handle
ChordNames, transparent notes, and MIDI filtered through
articulate.ly.

I'm especially grateful to Jan Nieuwenhuizen, who I had the pleasure
of meeting at FOSDEM last weekend, and whose help made this redesign
possible.

This release also fixes numerous other bugs:

feedback!

Regards,
Adam
