Rosegarden 13.10 "Joie de Vivre" released

The Rosegarden team has announced the release of version 13.10 of Rosegarden for Linux.

This release adds a few minor features and fixes a number of bugs. The most interesting new features are a new configuration option that allows you to avoid starting JACK when Rosegarden starts, and a new Interpret Toolbar in the notation editor that provides a streamlined way of applying the interpretations formerly only accessible through the Interpret dialog.

New Features:

• Selection event filter can select rests.
• Selection event filter can select either performance or notation duration.
• LilyPond export converts a or a (C) in the copyright header to a proper symbol automatically.
• New interpretation toolbar for the notation editor streamlines the Adjust ? Interpret process.
• New option to allow LilyPond to export fingerings inside the staff (can improve collision resolution).
• New option to instruct Rosegarden not to start JACK automatically at startup, allowing you to control this behavior without having to put garbage in your ~/.jackdrc file.
• Support LilyPond 2.14.

Bug Fixes:

• Pitch Bend Sequence Dialog, number of steps must be positive.
• Fix disconnected move up staff / move down staff commands.

• Fix a "No such key" bug in the key signature dialog.
• Fix MIDI thru latency issue when recording.
