-
- 3/23/91 Version 2.1 Many bug fixes including:
-
- - Missing extended measure rest sign: The extended measure rest
- sign did not print in the music. The extended measure rest sign
- now prints in the music correctly.
- - Extended measure rest double digit count: Double digit counts of
- extended measure rests (like the number 10) would cause improper
- spacing of the number. Double digit counts now work properly.
- - Long staff line crash: If there were more than 50 notes in a
- staff line, the programwould crash. The buffer hasbeen expanded
- to 200 notes and will report an error message if more than 200
- notes are on a staff line.
- - Tied note transposition: Notes that were tied across bar lines
- would not retain any key changes in the note in the second
- measure. This has been corrected.
- - Improper page break: Often the program would print across the
- page break. A new method of counting now makes the page breaks
- more accurate.
- - Cutting off of top of staff line: The top of the key signature
- sometimes did not print. This has been fixed.
- - Better syntax checking: Improper musiccommands now result in an
- error message rather than causing poor print outs.
