Hi,

A short introduction: I took over the Noteedit project in September 2004
as Joerg Anders decided to stop working on it. In February we already
released version 2.7.4 but I forgot to announce it here. The development
has continued and I'm now happy to announce:

Noteedit 2.8.0 Beta 1 has been released. This is the first beta in the
release cycle of the coming 2.8.0 release of NoteEdit. Test it hard and
report any bugs to the developer mailing list or in the Bug tracker of
the noteedit berlios developer page (preferred).

Release 2.8.0 Beta 1

New features:
- updated Slovenian translation and fixed Makefile
- RFE #573 - Soprano clef added
- score info fields and staff names can now include double quotes ("),
updated export filters
- RFE #730 - Direct MIDI import - one-click MIDI file import implemented
- RFE #729 - warning message before TSE3 -> Score added
- automatic bar placement disabled if no time signature defined
- allow bar placement in empty staffs with no clef/key/time signature
- merged staff properties and voice dialog
- staff properties can now change all staffs at once, not only the
current one
- menu point staff -> voices invokes the staff properties.
- more improvements to the menu: Easier access via keys, some better
  menu names (like Close / Quit, Select Multi Staff)

Bugs fixed:
- 003595 dbl quotes in some score info fields leads to invalid files
- 003935 deleting element doesn't make document edited - also some
rework in delete element code
- 003934 discard changes dialog ignored on exit
- 003914 crash when a pasting to new staff
- 003504 bad file save without clef
- 003861 Multirests in non-4/4 measure broken
- 003862 measures after multirests not numbered correctly
- 003183 multistaff broken - warning message added
- 003403 export lilypond 2.4 lyrics problem
- 003484 crash on midi import
- 003503 hard crash on midi export
- 003786 midi export crashes noteedit
- 003791 staff->delete / import recording warnings wrong
- Integrated patch 403: Better menu structure
- Fixed typo in staff properties dialog ("Voice:" -> "Instrument:")

Remarks:
- export to lily of different drum notes inside a chord is
         suppressed to prevent chocking of lily. The
         user should use multiple voices instead.


Release 2.7.4

New features:
- improved LilyPond support : added export in lilypond-2.4.2 format
- added Slovenian translation, thanks to Matevz Jekovec

Patches included (Matevz Jekovec):
- 000255 added \version "2.0", so convert-ly now works out of the box
         moved \voiceOne,\voiceTwo etc. to the separate lines
  fixed a small typo (LilyPoint -> LilyPond)

Bugs fixed:
- 002487 noteedit doesn't consider ties on MusicXML import
- 002528 triplets unfunctional
- 002532 multirests with one bar
- 002580 small type in INSTALL.de
- 002581 rest symbol printed twice
- 002807 rests should have fermatas as well
- 002809 measure numbers for other voices not printed in .ly file
- 003249 2.7.4 beta crash on RH7.2
- 003296 crash when ALSA synth not running

Best regards,

Reinhard Katzmann
