What's New in This Release:

· Up to 8 MIDI Output ports can be selected at once, giving up to 128 simultaneous channels. These channels are also available to VST instruments.
· A Virtual Keyboard is available for input of music. Notes can be input via the computer keyboard or the mouse. It is available from the View menu.
· Chord names, guitar chords, dynamics, tempi and pedal markings can now play automatically.
· Controllers, Pitch Bend and Aftertouch from MIDI Input can be mapped to any other Controller, Pitch Bend or Aftertouch. Set this in the MIDI Thru dialog.
· Now when you enter a clef or octava, a new note group is created so notes follow the changes no matter where the clef or octava is entered. Formerly the music took clefs and octava changes into account at the beginning of a new beat or note grouping.
· Clefs can be inserted anywhere in a split track, in either the top or the bottom staff.
· CTRL Right Mouse can be used to bring up the Bar Display dialog when in the Score Editor.
