[jmsl] New JMSL release, build 20080505

Sat May 10 00:02:55 EDT 2008

Hi Georg

Thanks a lot for the feedback. It's great to unleash a class room full 
of hands on MaxScore/JMSL!

I just sent MaxScore the message setNoteElseRestForMouseEntry false, 
CTRL-clicked on the MaxScore staff and a rest showed up on the staff. 
This is on a Mac running MaxMSP 4.6.3
Then I tried checking the box on and off in the helpfile -> "p note 
attributes" -> setNoteElseRestForMouseEntry, and there I experienced the 
same problem you descibed.  Checking or unchecking that box has no 
effect.  However sending the explicit message 
"setNoteElseRestForMouseEntry false" will give you rests when you 
click.  Does this sound like a problem that needs to be debugged in Max? 
Seems like the Java/JMSL end is doing what it should.

ALT-SHIFT dragging a note up and down to change its pitch works ok on my 
Mac in JMSL ScoreFrame (I did not mean MaxScore).

Thanks
Nick
