MusicDevelopments has updated RapidComposer to version 1.9.

This major update includes the following improvements:

• Improved drag and drop experience; phrases/chords/scales are rendered into a small image that is shown during dragging.
• New preference: it is possible to disable selecting phrases from multiple tracks.
• New preference: using flats instead of sharps in chord names.
• A status window is displayed during loading a composition as the initialization of some VSTi plug-ins may take long.
• Scrollwheel works over lists and sliders too.
• Some minor changes in keyboard commands to match the OS X version; left and right Shift/Ctrl is not distinguished. The biggest change is the direct access of underlying chord/scale notes: instead of pressing Right Ctrl, you should press Ctrl+Shift.
• Bug fix: crash during resizing the window fixed.

To celebrate the 2nd birthday of RapidComposer, it is available for 20% off the regular price until the 20th of April, 2012.
