New in Frescobaldi 2.18 (Mar 7, 2015)

  • Important notes about installing and for packagers/distributors:
  • Frescobaldi is now dependent on the package 'python-ly'. This package
  • needs to be installed so that Frescobaldi can run.
  • It is listed among the dependencies in the INSTALL file and it can be found
  • at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ly.
  • Previously, this python package was contained in the frescobaldi_app folder.
  • So, when overwriting previous Frescobaldi installations, be sure that any
  • remnants from the old 'ly' package are removed, with a command like:
  • rm -r /usr/local//frescobaldi_app/ly
  • Otherwise, Frescobaldi won't find the new ly module and will fail to run.
  • Python-ly version 0.9 is required for Frescobaldi 2.18.
  • Python 3.2 (or higher) is supported and recommended! But Python 2.7 will
  • continue to be supported during the full Frescobaldi 2 lifecycle.
  • New features:
  • Midi import, using the LilyPond-provided midi2ly tool
  • ABC import, using the LilyPond-provided abc2ly tool
  • In the Editor Preferences, you can select which quotes will be used as
  • single and double (primary and secondary) typographical quotes (issue #529)
  • The music view now can display a PDF document with two pages next to each
  • other, starting with a right or left page, and in single pages (issue #575)
  • A new pitch tool, Mode shift, which can be used to change all or selected
  • notes to a specified mode or scale.
  • Commands to convert rests to spaces or vice versa, and to convert pitched
  • rests (like c'4\rest) to normal rests, contributed by Peter Bjuhr.
  • Command to open LilyPond data directory (useful if you want to study Lily's
  • own init- and Scheme files).
  • Improvements:
  • The Insert menu got renamed to Snippets, making more clear how it is used
  • and can be changed. When copying text to a new snippet, the snippet is added
  • to the menu by default, but the user can change that while editing.
  • Ctrl+Break (LilyPond → Abort Engraving Job) also stops an autocompile job
  • if one is running.
  • The SVG View now displays a default gray background when no document is
  • loaded, which is more helpful than a white background.
  • When right-clicking in the editor, the editor does not scroll anymore to
  • show more surrounding lines.
  • Multi-line block comments are now also foldable (issue #587)
  • The magnifying glass in the Music View does not clip to the page borders
  • anymore, which was annoying when showing many pages in a small size.
  • To save space in the toolbar, the almost never used Save As... button was
  • removed. But when holding the Save button longer, three choices pop up:
  • Save, Save As and Save All.
  • Ctrl-Mousewheel zooming the LilyPond Log now works properly.
  • Bugfixes:
  • The german ("deutsch") pitch names asas and heses are now handled correctly.
  • Previously, when translating the "nederlands" beses to german, it was output
  • as bes, instead of heses. Same for "norsk" and "suomi" (issue #415)
  • If the preference "Open default viewer after successful compile" is enabled,
  • the viewer to be opened is determined from the actual results, instead of
  • the default output format. This fixes the PDF view opening instead of the
  • SVG view, when the SVG format was chosen in the Engrave Custom dialog.
  • fix AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'insert' (issue #543)
  • the transpose functions will not transpose the chord after \stringTuning
  • anymore (issue #539).
  • fix error when opening a "recent file" that has been deleted (issue #597)
  • Quick Insert articulations etc. now also work with q (repeated) chords
  • (issue #628, fixed in python-ly)

  • (issue #631, fixed in python-ly)

  • Improvements:
  • jumps in the Document Outline also allow navigating back
  • autocompile does only happen when a document has toplevel markup or music

  • Improvements:
  • In the score wizard it is possible to enter a custom string tuning for the plucked string instruments, and the Ukulele is added (issue #342)
  • In the score wizard you can enable Smart neutral stem direction, which adds the Melody_engraver to the Voice context, resulting in a logical direction for notes on the middle staff line (issue #371)
  • Print source, Copy colored HTML and Export source as colored HTML: add line numbers if enabled in the preferences.
  • In the Editor preferences, it is adjustable whether HTML export or copy use a stylesheet or inline style attributes.

  • New barline types in the Quick Insert panel, the barlines are written in the correct style, depending on the LilyPond version set in the document (issue #365).
  • In the output-suffix (the scheme output-suffix variable or \bookOutputSuffix), non-alphanumeric characters (except '-' and '_') are replaced with '_', just like LilyPond itself does it (issue #373).
  • Bug fixes:
  • Fixed issue 336: TypeError on MusicXml export
  • Fixed error message when exporting keyboard shortcuts on platforms that do not have the HOME environment variable set
  • Fixed IndexError when transposed notes would get unexisting alterations, e.g. when a cis is transposed from c to cisis. The note is then altered, just like LilyPond handles this.
  • Temporarily removed feature:
  • MusicXML export has been temporarily removed from the File->Export menu. It is still visible in the git checkout. It is also available in the ly command (in the python-ly package, and also in Frescobaldi's git checkout) but it needs more testing and robustness before it is usable in Frescobaldi.

New in Frescobaldi 2.0.13 (Jan 3, 2014)

  • Translations:
  • updated: nl, fr
  • New features:
  • A new option LilyPond->Auto-engrave, that runs the engraver in preview mode
  • everytime the document changes
  • An option to hide log display for automatically started engraving jobs
  • Real-time Midi capturing
  • Basic MusicXML export (this was also already added in Frescobaldi 2.0.12)

  • Bug fixes:
  • Fix UnboundLocalError in ly.docinfo e.g. when showing the Tools->Pitch-> Language menu
  • Fix issue 332: Cursor didn't move on undo/redo
  • Fix issue 315: chords: \include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"

New in Frescobaldi 2.0.12 (Dec 27, 2013)

  • Translations:
  • updated: cs, nl, fr, es
  • New features:
  • Edit->Select Block has finally been implemented
  • A viewer for LilyPond-generated SVG files has been added by Peter Bjuhr.
  • This viewer (accessible via Tools->SVG Viewer) currently has one-way point and click. This only works with recent development versions of LilyPond, that add the point and click information to SVG files. In the future, the SVG view may become a fully fledged graphical music editor.
  • The default output format can be set in the LilyPond preferences (the current options are PDF or SVG, the default is PDF)
  • Improvements:
  • The indenter's handling of tabs and spaces has been improved. A tab always
  • starts a new indent level, and aligning is now always done with spaces.
  • The default is still using 2 spaces for indent, but it is now configurable
  • in a new settings panel Editor Preferences.
  • Besides the good old Preview and Publish modes a new mode has been added:
  • Layout Control. This mode uses the settings on the preview mode panel, which has been renamed to Layout Control Options. The layout of the panel has been improved. The Preview mode is reverted back to enabling only point and click links. In the Engrave (custom) dialog the run mode can be chosen and the commandline edited directly.
  • Entering staccatissimo writes -! when the document specifies a LilyPond
  • version >= 2.17.25, otherwise -|
  • When editing keyboard shortcuts, conflicts are directly shown as they are
  • entered; better support French keyboards
  • The internal handling of manipulations like transpose, translate, and the
  • various rhythm commands has become less dependent on Frescobaldi code.
  • These functionality now resides in the ly module and could be used by
  • other applications. The commands now can work on any ly.document, which
  • need not be a Frescobaldi document.
  • The internal help system has seen a massive overhaul: help files are now
  • very easy to write in a simplified markdown-like syntax. Adding help pages
  • is very easy by dropping a *.md file in the userguide/ directory. Every
  • paragraph in a help file is automatically added to the POT file and can be
  • translated by editing the language's PO file.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Music View: horizontal scrolling using trackpad now works with kinetic mode
  • enabled. Fixes #248.
  • Removed feature:
  • The 'master' variable is no longer supported, it's goal has been superseded
  • by the 'Always Engrave' option, which is also saved in the session. This
  • decision was taken to simplify the handling of files created on behalf of
  • a document.

  • the tempo-tapping button in the score wizard now uses the average clicking
  • speed instead of computing the bpm at each click (implementing wish #169)
  • under the File menu there is also a New with Wizard... action calling the
  • score wizard, creating a new document when clicking Ok
  • Word-related cursor movements have been improved. The backslash is now
  • considered a word boundary, even if there are no spaces between several
  • backslashed commands. Fixes wish #106.
  • Bug fixes:
  • fix splash screen shown as grey rectangle on some systems
  • in the LilyPond log, clicking on error mesages in files with '..' in their path (happens when using e.g. \include "../blabla.ly") now works.

  • from disk. This action can be undone with Ctrl-Z.

  • a red background in the document chooser. See Preferences->Tools->Music View

  • re-checks for updated PDF documents. If there are no updated PDFs it even
  • tries to load non up-to-date PDFs (regardless of the setting above)
