ANN: Frescobaldi 2.19.0

[Wilbert Berendsen]

Dear all,

Frescobaldi 2.19.0 has been released into the wild.
There are quite a lot improvements and some nice new features.

Download: http://frescobaldi.org/download

Please download and enjoy :-) And if you want to, update the translations,
there are some new user interface texts.

In a month or so I will release 2.19.1 with updated translations etc.

Then Frescobaldi 2.x will go in bugfix mode and development of new features
will concentrate on Frescobaldi 3.0, which will require Python3 and Qt5.

Thanks go to all the contributors! And to the users, for submitting good 
wishes and issue reports.

Summary of changes:

* Requirement changes:
  - Frescobaldi now requires python-ly 0.9.4
* New features:
  - Tools->Quick Remove->Remove Fingerings
  - Tools->Quick Remove->Remove Comments
  - Tools->Pitch->Simplify Accidentals
  - It is now configurable whether the document tabs have a close button
  - The new LilyPond feature to embed source code files in the PDF (LilyPond >=
    2.19.39) can be used in publish mode and the custom engrave dialog (#813)
  - Clicking a TOC item in the Music View jumps to its destination (#803)
  - When copying music to an image, a new option has been added to render the
    image twice as large and scale it smoothly down, which improves images at
    smaller DPI values.
  - An option to keep the text cursor in the current line, when using the
    horizontal arrow keys (off by default) (wish #779)
* Improvements:
  - LilyPond 2.18+ \relative { ... } without start pitch is now supported
  - It is possible to use no start pitch on abs->rel conversion and specify
    the desired behaviour using two checkboxes in the tools->pitch menu.
  - Clicking a point and click link in the Music View now remembers the previous
    position
  - Autocompile was not triggered in some circumstances.
    Now it is also triggered:
    * when a document is saved
    * when undoing a change after a save (i.e. the undo would reset the 
      "modifified" flag of the document)
  - When tapping a tempo in the Score Wizard, it is now configurable whether
    a "common" metronome value is picked, or the exact tapped BPM (#792)
  - Allow zooming to 800% in Music View (#800)
  - When closing a document that has an engrave job running, the user is warned
    and can choose whether to wait for the job to complete, to abort it, or to
    cancel the closing.
  - Tabbar and document list show in the document icon whether the last
    engraving was successful (#636)
  - Comment and Uncomment snippets are improved and now in the Snippet menu
  - Score Wizard:
    - add C-Melody Sax (#810)
