Denemo 0.8.16 Release

[Richard Shann]

Denemo 0.8.16 has been released.
Denemo is a program for inputting music notation.
The music being entered is displayed and can be typeset via LilyPond or
played via MIDI. With this version it is also possible to add a live
performance to the musical score.

0.8.16 Release Notes 


* Automatic page turning on playback. When playback reaches the 
last line in the display the page turns at the top so that you 
can read the music continuously 
* Recording MIDI: while playing a Denemo score you can record a 
new MIDI part, and then playback the combined performance. Save 
the combined performance as MIDI. Simple convert-to-notation. 
* Playback controls - set the start position to the cursor 
* Grace Notes - Now as On/Off command, correct display in Denemo 
and works with selections 


Known Issues: 
* Windows users: Direct Printing and Print Excerpt do not work, 
use Print Preview 
* Windows users who are upgrading: you should delete the folder 
called .denemo in your home folder (i.e. the place where 
Documents is) 
* Windows users with LilyPond installed separately: you may need 
to re-install LilyPond after installing Denemo if you wish to 
use it separately.
