Added

  • Added a toolbox panel with common commands (#188, #300, @nbrunett).
  • Added support for volume swells (#17).
  • Added MIDI playback support for alterations of pace (#18).
  • Added new commands (Note -> Shift String Up and Note -> Shift String Down) to shift notes up or down by a string (#20).
  • Ties, hammer ons, pull offs, and slides can now be created between notes in adjacent systems (#27).
  • Added a dark theme for the score view, based on the user's system theme (#286, @mostafa-nabil).
  • Left hand fingerings now support thumbs. This is also now supported by the Guitar Pro 6/7 importers (#292).
  • The song information can now store a subtitle. This is also now supported by the Guitar Pro 6/7 importers (#297).
  • Several improvements to the view filter dialog. In particular, it now displays a list of the players that will be displayed when the filter is used (#295).
  • Several improvements to the Guitar Pro 3/4/5 importer:
    • It now shares most of its code for converting to the Power Tab format with the GP6/7 importers, fixing a variety of layout / conversion issues.
    • Artificial and tapped harmonics are now imported.
    • Bends are now imported (#30).
    • Musical directions are now imported.
    • The initial tempo marker's name and visibility is now imported.
    • Wide vibrato, left hand fingerings, and the song's subtitle are now imported.
    • Fixed issues where imported tied notes could incorrectly have a fret number of 0 instead of the previous note's fret.

Changed

  • The Position -> Shift Forward and Position -> Shift Backward menu items have been renamed to Insert Space and Remove Space, to hopefully reduce confusion with the new string shifting commands (#20).
  • Unit tests now depend on the doctest library instead of Catch2. This is more lightweight (while still providing all of the necessary features) and is more widely available on Linux distros.

Fixed

  • Improved the size and alignment of the treble and bass clef glyphs.
  • Improved standard notation layout when a note is staccato and also has an accent.
  • Improved alignment of accents in the standard notation staff.
  • Improved vertical positioning of trills and dynamics symbols.
  • Fixed a bug where editing the zoom text caused it to turn black, making it unreadable with a dark system theme.
  • Fixed a potential crash in the Edit View Filters dialog when a string pattern was invalid (#295).
