01/06/08    Changed ctrl-click on note to alt+shift+drag note to click 
and note and transpose up and down.  (since Ctrl click does not work on OSX)
01/06/08    jmsltestsuite.DrawWithMouseOnScore guards against alt+shift 
when drawing with alt down
01/06/08    feature and workaround: LilyPond export handles repeat count 
with volta bracket now, instead of "#x" mark. Lilypond does not permit 
more than one rehearsal mark per measure so "4x" would interere with a 
command like "trumpet solo"
01/08/08    feature: OrchestraXMLLoader can load from URL as well as 
filename
01/19/08    bug fix: transcriber scale tempo bug fix, which did not 
handle leading rests properly. Thanks Peter McCulloch
01/27/08    bug fix: ScoreFrame SAVE used to save score A loaded from 
dir A to dir B if score B was loaded from dir B after score A. Now each 
score hashes to its own directory for saving and save as
01/27/08    bug fix: ScoreFrame "save as" no longer renames score title 
from filename unless score title starts with "Untitled"
02/23/08    bug fix: noteFlasher no longer adds Score.getRenderDelay() 
to flash advance scheduling.  Fix for low latency OSX.
02/23/08    fixed text in shortcut menu           
03/25/08    Feature: Unbalanced repeat bar ScoreOperator in ScoreFrame 
Score menu.  Important to have balanced ||: :|| bars in a score for 
LilyPond export.               
03/25/08    Feature: LilyPond exporter checks for balanced repeats 
during export and generates warning.
03/25/08    Bug fix: LilyPond exporter now prints duration and 
unbalanced repeats report to System.err
04/14/08    change: license manager no longer calls System.exit() on 
unlicensed versions, but disables essential services instead. Friendlier 
for MaxScore or other situations where JMSL is hosted by another app
04/14/08    feature: pitches are rounded to nearest quarter tone for 
purposes of assigning staff level.
            So a note with pitch 60.9 displays as C# instead of middle C 
(used to truncate mantissa),
            and note with pitch 60.25 displays as 60.5 (1/4 tone sharp).
04/14/08    feature: MusicShape.setClippingEnabled() and 
isClippingEnabled() lets you switch on/off the clipping of values to 
MusicShape dimension min/max limits. Affects methods like transpose() 
and invert()
04/18/08    suppress println warnings when ScoreCommands with the same 
name are added to ScoreCommandCenter
04/18/08    bug fix: WriteScoreMidiFile won't scale amplitude to midi 
vel it if is already greater than 1 (ie if it is a midi vel already)
04/20/08    feature: WriteScoreMidiFile properly writes time signatures 
and tempo changes to MIDI file
04/20/08    feature: 15-tuplets
04/20/08    bug fix: WriteScoreMidiFile handles tied notes properly now
05/05/08    feature: Staves can show/hide 5 lines individually, and 
show/hide ledger lines, too.
            myscore.setLedgerLinesVisible(int staffIndex, boolean visible)
            myscore.setStaffLineVisible(int staffIndex, int lineIndex, 
boolean visible)
            Thanks Hans Tammen
05/05/08    TimeSigDialog no longer requires power of two for 
denominator. Thanks Georg Hajdu and Brian Ferneyhough
05/05/08    Bug fix: dotted 15 tuplet excluded from NoteFactory hash, 
since dotted quarter 15-tuplet has same duration as qtr quintuplet. 
Thanks Georg Hajdu
