MusicDevelopments has updated RapidComposer to v3.44. The latest update includes more than a dozen improvements and many bug fixes.
Improvements:
- The standard Ctrl+drag is used for copying phrases and notes instead of Alt+drag. You can drag the rhythm of a phrase by Alt+drag.
- Mouse wheel works for horizontal timeline scrolling and zoom (Ctrl+mouse wheel).
- The position and size of Structure Inspector is restored.
- MIDI and audio export directories are remembered.
- Order of modes was changed to Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian.
- Finding closest match for chords when changing scales was fully reworked and works well with any chords.
- "Find Closest Match For Chords On The New Scale" added to scale selector.
- Chord rules can be assigned anywhere not just globally to the composition.
- Master track inspector UI cleanup.
- An option was added to disable transposition for absolute notes in the note editor (e.g. for key-switch notes).
- Notes have a scale step and semitone offset independently, instead of only one kind of offset.
- It is possible to multiply or divide all chord lengths in a chord progression by 2 or 3.

- Optimizations in the UI layout engine under the hood.
