Version 58
|
|
- grammer for I:score instruction replaces ad hoc parsing.
|
|
- voice merging, part grouping and grand staffs are derived by transformation of the parse tree of I:score.
|
|
- also move clef redefinitions after [I:staff +/-n].
|
|
- avoid a false beam break when [I:staff +/-n] is used within a beamed note group.
|
|
- absolute ABC staff numbers in [I:staff n] are mapped to MusicXML grand staff numbers (when possible).
|
|
- added translation of the [+-^_]15 octave clefs.
|
|
- no default channel/panning/volume in <midi-instrument> elements.
|
|
|
|
Version 57
|
|
- grand staff implemented.
|
|
- in an [I:score] instruction recognize a braced voice group as a grand staff when the opening brace is followed by an asterix ('{*' no space allowed).
|
|
- also recognize a normal braced voice group as a grand staff when precisely one of the braced voices has a name.
|
|
- the name of a staff or part is taken from the first of its voices (in ABC source order) for which a name is defined.
|
|
- within a grand staff notes and directions preceded by [I:staff +/-n] are moved n staffs upwards or downwards.
|
|
- accept voice ids with a leading asterix in I:score instructions (for the time being the asterix is discarded, however)
|
|
|
|
Version 56
|
|
- the <grace/> element should come before the <chord/> element in a note. (previously caused syntax warning with FinaleNotepad)
|
|
- translates the _8, ^8 variants of the clefs in addition to the +8, -8. Also translates octave= argument of V: and K:
|
|
- part names are left empty when not explicitly given using V:id name="<part name>" (previously id was used in that case)
|
|
- transpose= was only honoured when a typed clef= definition was present, now is works in any V: or K: field.
|
|
- a tempo definition in the ABC header (Q:) is treated as an inline tempo ([Q:]) for the first voice.
|
|
- repeated occurrences of [I:MIDI] in a voice are translated into a MusicXML instrument changes for that voice.
|
|
Neither Finale nor Musescore recognize the relevant MusicXML elements (<sound/midi-instrument> and <note/instrument> yet.
|
|
- new cue=on/off attribute for K: and V: definitions, to mark sections of cue notes in a voice.
|
|
Neither Finale nor Musescore handle cue size for directions, yet (<level size="cue">).
|
|
- normally whole measure rests are discarded when merging staffs. Use option -r to keep these rests in the merged results.
|
|
|
|
Version 55
|
|
- replaced info message text: "leeg" with "empty voice", when skipping an empty voice.
|
|
- avoided exception when ABC voice has only one measure containing only a volta number
|
|
- do not output an xml-backup element when it has zero duration
|
|
|
|
Version 54
|
|
- allow gracenotes within chords
|
|
- discard unbalanced chord brackets (caused a syntax error previously)
|
|
- chords containing only rests caused an exception

|
- ABC-code like: B2 1 caused an exception, now interpreted as: B2/1
|
|
|
|
Version 53
|
|
- tie to a chord with a single note caused an exception.
|
|
- a first line with a single measure and only a left bar line caused a syntax error.
|
|
- a first line with a single measure with only chords and no bar lines caused a syntax error.
|
|
- option -z or --mxl writes an additional compressed xml file with extention .mxl
|
|
- better treatment of barlines with spaces interspersed.
|
|
- dot after note right before barline caused syntax error (now only warning and skip)
|
|
|
|
Version 52
|
|
- accept and translate chords in a grace sequence (caused an exception previously)
|
|
- corrected bug when parsing %%score without space between voice number and left bracket, like %%staves 1(2 3)

|
|
- use consistent voice numbering in XML when merging ABC-voices with overlays.
|

|
(non traditional key signatures not supported by MuseScore, but note alterations are correct)
