main changes since alpha 1:
- Better parallel processing system (esp. in terms of docs)
- Pitches are 30% faster to create, notes are 15% faster. You do create notes, don't you? :-)
- Better musicxml support: volume. Improvements to transposition, glissando, barlines
- Corpus: added works by Amy Beach, Schubert (Lindenbaum), fixed missing Bach Chorales (thanks Dr. Schmidt!) and error in Haydn op. 1 no. 1 movement 1(thanks Joshua Ballance)
- Scales, IntervalNetwork: faster and better documented.
- NeoRiemannian analysis greatly improved (thanks Mark Gotham!)
- voiceLeading.VoiceLeadingQuartet improved. compatibility change: improperResolution renamed to isProperResolution and improved. Former title implied that False meant it was proper; now the title reflects the output.
- Instrument objects now have their MusicXML v.3 sound tags attached (thanks Luke P.!)
- Bugs fixed: chords not in voices in measures with voices were not found in some routines. Instrument objects without midiProgram explicitly set get a program on MIDI output. MIDI no longer inserts a rest at the beginning (thanks KKONZ). Chord.normalOrder fixed (thanks luiselroquero), bugs in Capella parsing. Bugs related to Apple File System High Sierra not sorting files by default.
