Music Processing Suite 1.15.0 was released on January 6, 2025.
New Features and Enhancements:
- Updated Eclipse base platform to version 2024-12
- MPS is now able to compute the importance, also referred to as “indispensability”, of all note onsets/beats in all measures of a piece, respecting the metric context. The algorithm was proposed by Clarence Barlow. Two new analysis features are available:
- Indispensability over Time: indispensabilities of all note onsets over time (absolute time or measures)
- Indispensability Distribution: absolute or relative distribution of indispensability values
- Significant performance improvements when writing or reading context layer models
- Support for new Homebrew path
/opt/homebrew/binon Apple Silicon Macs, which allows to auto-detect external applications like GraphViz
Bugfixes:
- Fixed incorrect beat and measure fraction calculations in upbeats
- Fixed a
NullPointerExceptionwhen merging scale analysis data for multiple files when no scale analysis data was available for at least one file - Fixed a problem related to the Eclipse 2024-12 update that caused the CoreNLP server not to be startable (previous MPS versions were not affected)
Documentation:
- List of analysis features was updated
- Documentation for automatic detection of external libraries such as MuseScore and LaTeX was updated to contain all current built-in search paths
