|---|---|
| 1 Version 58 | |
| 2 - grammer for I:score instruction replaces ad hoc parsing. | |
| 3 - voice merging, part grouping and grand staffs are derived by transformation of the parse tree of I:score. | |
| 4 - also move clef redefinitions after [I:staff +/-n]. | |
| 5 - avoid a false beam break when [I:staff +/-n] is used within a beamed note group. | |
| 6 - absolute ABC staff numbers in [I:staff n] are mapped to MusicXML grand staff numbers (when possible). | |
| 7 - added translation of the [+-^_]15 octave clefs. | |
| 8 - no default channel/panning/volume in <midi-instrument> elements. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 Version 57 | |
| 11 - grand staff implemented. | |
| 12 - 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). | |
| 13 - also recognize a normal braced voice group as a grand staff when precisely one of the braced voices has a name. | |
| 14 - 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. | |
| 15 - within a grand staff notes and directions preceded by [I:staff +/-n] are moved n staffs upwards or downwards. | |
| 16 - accept voice ids with a leading asterix in I:score instructions (for the time being the asterix is discarded, however) | |
| 17 | |
| 18 Version 56 | |
| 19 - the <grace/> element should come before the <chord/> element in a note. (previously caused syntax warning with FinaleNotepad) | |
| 20 - translates the _8, ^8 variants of the clefs in addition to the +8, -8. Also translates octave= argument of V: and K: | |
| 21 - part names are left empty when not explicitly given using V:id name="<part name>" (previously id was used in that case) | |
| 22 - transpose= was only honoured when a typed clef= definition was present, now is works in any V: or K: field. | |
| 23 - a tempo definition in the ABC header (Q:) is treated as an inline tempo ([Q:]) for the first voice. | |
| 24 - repeated occurrences of [I:MIDI] in a voice are translated into a MusicXML instrument changes for that voice. | |
| 25 Neither Finale nor Musescore recognize the relevant MusicXML elements (<sound/midi-instrument> and <note/instrument> yet. | |
| 26 - new cue=on/off attribute for K: and V: definitions, to mark sections of cue notes in a voice. | |
| 27 Neither Finale nor Musescore handle cue size for directions, yet (<level size="cue">). | |
| 28 - normally whole measure rests are discarded when merging staffs. Use option -r to keep these rests in the merged results. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 Version 55 | |
| 31 - replaced info message text: "leeg" with "empty voice", when skipping an empty voice. | |
| 32 - avoided exception when ABC voice has only one measure containing only a volta number | |
| 33 - do not output an xml-backup element when it has zero duration | |
| 34 | |
| 35 Version 54 | |
| 36 - allow gracenotes within chords | |
| 37 - discard unbalanced chord brackets (caused a syntax error previously) | |
| 38 - chords containing only rests caused an exception | |
| 39 - ABC-code like: B2 1 caused an exception, now interpreted as: B2/1 | |
| 40 | |
| 41 Version 53 | |
| 42 - tie to a chord with a single note caused an exception. | |
| 43 - a first line with a single measure and only a left bar line caused a syntax error. | |
| 44 - a first line with a single measure with only chords and no bar lines caused a syntax error. | |
| 45 - option -z or --mxl writes an additional compressed xml file with extention .mxl | |
| 46 - better treatment of barlines with spaces interspersed. | |
| 47 - dot after note right before barline caused syntax error (now only warning and skip) | |
| 48 | |
| 49 Version 52 | |
| 50 - accept and translate chords in a grace sequence (caused an exception previously) | |
| 51 - corrected bug when parsing %%score without space between voice number and left bracket, like %%staves 1(2 3) | |
| 52 | |

| 58 - corrected translation of the clef octave change notation (i.e. +8, -8 suffix) | |
| 59 | |
| 60 Version 49 | |

| 63 - do not add accidentals to tied notes even when present in ABC code. | |
| 64 - use consistent voice numbering in XML when merging ABC-voices with overlays. | |
