>>   * New support for Frontier Design Group’s TranzPort™ contributed by 
>> Immanuel 
>> Litzroth
>>   * The MIDI device manager can now import bank and program information from 
>> LinuxSampler .lscp files

>> ==== Notation ====

>>   * New pan and zoom allows you to move around quickly, and zoom the window 
>> contents as far in or out as you like, or zoom either axis independently
>>   * You can now add a layer to the part you're editing with just one click.

>>   * New marks for open, stopped/muted, and harmonic/flageolet

>>
>> ==== Audio ====
>>   * If the JACK audio server is not already running, Rosegarden will start

>> for you transparently
>>   * If you attempt to record to a document named "Untitled" you will be

>>   * New controls available from the main window and the audio mixer allow

>>   * When recording, the composition title and custom audio instrument name

>> 12]-[Bobs_Guitar]-2009-11-23_10.20.30-1.wav**

>> zero-length notes for percussion
>>   * The forward and back tab navigation buttons on the MIDI mixer work 
>> properly now
>>   * Problems with the "trill with line" mark solved through the new 
>> indication, which allows a trill to span multiple tied notes, and allows all 
>> of this to export to LilyPond correctly
>>   * Corrected export of sustain pedal notation for LilyPond 2.12
>>   * The main window no longer expands horizontally upon loading files that 
>> were last saved with a high level of zoom

>> ledger 
>> lines are now drawn at the correct size
>>   * Notation staffs now respect user font configuration choices consistently
