What message did you get, Jim?  I tried posting to the list, and then I 
flipped over to look at the archives, and the message was already 
present.  You are subscribed, not moderated, and are configured to 
receive mail from the list, so everything looks to be in order.

It's probably just SourceForge man.  We get what we pay for.

Most of the discussion we've been having lately has taken place on 
various bug report threads, and the list has been pretty dead.

I'm working on a search and select feature for the notation editor.  My 
old selection event filter was badly designed, and never satisfied. 
This is a total redesign, based on years of experience with the process 
of turning human MIDI into something legible, and arranging parts 
written to play on one thing to play on something else.

The idea is that if a Rosegarden event can contain or represent some 
piece of information, then you can search for that information.  All the 
dotted 8th notes that have a tenuto and a fingering of 3 at a pitch of 
Bb (but not A#) in every octave except the two middle octaves.

It is a gigantic amount of work, and a long way from being finished. 
I'm not going to release again until I get that done, whenever that is. 
  December, hopefully.

Niek van den Berg is working on a new kind of transposable chord entity. 
Instead of putting a text event with the string "Eb" in it, you insert 
one of these things, and it both comes out looking nicer and you can 
transpose it to some other key if you want.  He's doing this work in a 
branch.  The first draft is up and running, with some glitches.  I have 
no idea if this will be merged in time for the release or not.

Tom Breton is trying to work through various complicated issues related 
to tuplets, I think.  I haven't heard much out of him in a long time.

Ted Felix has been looking into things for me, to help me figure out 
some bugs we've had reported lately, and we've been working with 
Fernando A. Martin to get some testing and stability work done.  He 
found some severe problems, which we have corrected, and he reports 
being able to complete a complex project with 13.12.

Yves is working on a bug I re-introduced by fixing several bugs Fernando 
reported.

That's all the work I know about off the top of my head.  Everybody is 
working quietly, in their own time, and nobody is talking much.  My own 
project is coming along very slowly.  I only get one or two days a week 
to work on it, and I'm already past 1,000 lines of code having written 
less than half the feature.  It's probably the biggest thing I've ever 
undertaken, actually.

It may turn out to be an Edsel too.  I'm thinking pretty far outside the 
box on this one, and it will either be awesome or it will be a 
stupendous exercise in what was I thinking.
