RELEASE HISTORY

* VERSION: 6.0.3.1  -  Maintenance Release

FIX
When loading a version 4 or earlier song with controller events
embedded in a drum track, the controller number is no longer
incorrectly set when converting the MIDI events.

FIX
Chord previewing with multiple ports no longer causes hung notes.

CHANGE
After composing, if the drum fills track is empty it is automatically
removed. To override this behavior, change the Settings.ini value
composer_drum_fills_auto_remove_empty_fills_track to zero.

FIX
Dragging a note in the piano roll below note zero could cause a crash
in certain cases.

CHANGE
Two new items added to right click menu in Measures View, 1) 'Set
Punch to Selection' and 2) 'Set Punch and Loop to Selection'

CHANGE
Some more demo songs have been added to the release.

FIX
Fixed a bug where wildcard arpeggio compiled types could result in a
stream of a single note. Composer now handles wildcard arpeggio
compiled types better (although compiled value usage is still
limited).

FIX
Fixed a bug where under certain circumstances, wild card drum fill
notes would not work properly when loading version 4 and earlier
songs.

FIX
Fixed a display issue for tracks with no patch but forcing a drum note

FIX
Fixed a bug where compiling certain event lists with benders would
take a very long time.

CHANGE
Changed default bender range for new riffs and changed certain
compiler presets to work better with MIDI parts using pitch wheel
events.

FIX
Fixed bug where pasted MIDI notes would have their durations trimmed
to a very small duration.

CHANGE
MIDI File export now allows you to trim note durations for all 
exported notes.

CHANGE
Various other composer changes & tweaks.

=======================================================================

* VERSION: 6.0.2.1  -  Maintenance Release

FIX
Fixed a bug where pressing Ctrl+V to paste in an edit control would
paste twice.

FIX
On the Style Tree menu right click menus, Refresh now works for all
items instead of just at the top level.

CHANGE
After clicking the "Compose a sample" button in the Load grooves
dialog, focus is now set back to the list of groove files.

FIX
Fixed a bug where band styles could get assigned duplicated ids, which
could cause anomalies when copying and pasting.

CHANGE
When composing in the Style Builder, the newest musician is
automatically selected. Also there is now a check box to automatically
compose when adding/replacing musicians. So you can now quickly
replace musicians and compose in one step by simply double clicking a
musician in the list on the right.

CHANGE
New preference added to the Measures View section in Settings /
Preferences. When deleting band styles in the Measures View, once the
last instance of a band style is deleted, the band style is then
automatically deleted from the Style Editor as well. This is OFF by
default so if you want this behavior be sure to turn it on in your
preferences.

CHANGE
When deleting band styles in the Style Editor, any references to this
style in the Measures View are now automatically deleted (i.e. no more
"No Matching Style")

CHANGE
On the right click menus in the Style Tree (except for the riff) there
is a new item allowing you to clear mute and/or solo for all of the
item's child grooves and riffs

CHANGE
In the Style Editor, the riff's revoicing page has been redesigned.
Also a new revoicing mode has been added that will try to keep the
revoice as similar to the riff as possible by using the note count,
velocity and duration of any ringing notes.

CHANGE
The text displayed in the 'Player' column in the tracks view is
simplified and should be clearer now. If no musician in the current
band style is using this track, the 'Player' column will display 'None
in Band' to let you know that the current track is not used in the
current band style.

CHANGE
Double clicking the 'Edit Style' column while on the drum fills track
will open the style editor and select the drum fills musician in the
current band style. This item displays '---' if there is no musician
in the current band style using the track.

CHANGE
For usage weight menus there are two new commands to double or halve
all usage weights.

CHANGE
In the Style Editor, the drum fills musician now shows it's track
assignment on the 'Main' page (the first musician set to composer type
'Drum Fills' is the one that will be used). Track assignment is
completely automatic.

CHANGE
The "Go to track" tool on the Style Editor tool bar now works for drum
fill musicians & tracks.

CHANGE
The "Edit Current Musician" tool on the Tracks View tool bar now works
for drum fill musicians & tracks.

FIX
Fixed a bug where previously composed drum fills would not be erased
if there were no drum fills being composed in the current punch area
(or selection).

CHANGE
Drum fills are still written to a separate drum fills track, but now
the track is a style track and therefore has Compose / Keep / Erase
modes just like the other musicians in the band style.

FIX
Drum fill composer wild card notes now work with the drum key map in
the style patch table instead of always using General MIDI snare and
tom notes (the drum fill track's style patch is used). Also, in the
style editor, for any drum fill musician you can set the exact notes
to use for drum fill wildcard notes and crash cymbals.

CHANGE
For drum fill musicians you can now select from four different crash
cymbals (weighted so that you can blend them).

CHANGE
For drum fill musicians you can now specify the velocity of added
crash cymbals.

FIX
Fixed a bug where pressing Ctrl+W with no songs would close JAMMER.

CHANGE
The composer now supports MIDI controllers in riffs. Before/after
context is retained for level, pan, reverb, chorus, modulation and
expression controllers. All other controllers are output 'as is' with
no special processing or clean up.

FIX
In the Style Editor on the band style's mixer page, the pan, reverb
and chorus controls now function as intended. Note that after making
adjustments, the changes are not heard until you compose the band
style.

FIX
The compiled types 'Offset from last note', 'Wildcard 1 or 5' and
'Offset from last note' now work as intended.

CHANGE
In the chord voicing editor two new options are added allowing you to
preview the voicing with a bass note added and you can select whether
to strum or pluck the notes when previewing voicings. Also, when
incrementing and decrementing the lower limit the voicing is sounded
at the lower limit making it much easier to set this correctly. To
hear the voicing at the current lower limit click in the lower limit
display and hold down the mouse button.

CHANGE
Style Builder tutorial updated so that it takes advantage of the new
features. It is recommended to go through this tutorial again, even if
you have already done so in the past as this is the quickest way to
explore the new additions.

FIX
In the Load Band Style dialog box the 'Use tempo' check box setting is
always remembered now (previously the setting would not be retained if
you clicked the Close button).

CHANGE
In the 'Add Musicians' form in the Style Builder, a new column is
added showing the file name that each musician was loaded from
(providing the musician was loaded in the Style Builder)

CHANGE
For riffs in musicians with the composer type set to "Drums", the "Raw
MIDI note" compiled type will now be composed. Previously only "Drum"
compiled types were recognized by the drum composer, all other
compiled types were ignored.

CHANGE
When adding a new musician in the style editor the default musician
name will be set to the style patch name of the new musician unless a
custom name is entered.

CHANGE
The MIDI To Style tool will now search tracks for the first occurring
MIDI patch event in the case the track itself does not have a bank and
patch or style patch (when it is defaulting the musician parameters
for the tracks).

FIX
Using +,-,[, or ] to increment and decrement in the Tracks View patch
column on drum tracks no longer causes the track to switch to using a
forced drum note.

FIX
Harmony composer musicians now pay attention to level offset in the
band style's musician mixer.
