New Features and Enhancements:

  • Scores can now be exported to MusicXML in order to be opened with MuseScore or other music notation software
  • Scores PDFs can be generated directly in MPS using MuseScore as backend
  • Music analysis reports can now be generated incrementally (only plots with changed data are re-generated)
  • All time-dependent X axes can now have measures as unit (as opposed to absolute time). This is now the default X axis configuration.
  • Added min/max pitch plot in analysis reports
  • Replaced min/max pitch plot in overview plot with piano roll plot
  • Enhanced alignment of X axis in overview plots
  • Analysis report PDFs now have headlines containing the name of the file/folder which was analyzed
  • LaTeX files for analysis reports now contain the inlined analysis data. This makes configuration for LaTeX escaping obsolete.

  • Implicit harmony analysis is now enabled by default
  • Enhanced mechanisms to locate GraphViz/LaTex/MuseScore executables on various operating systems

  • Columns are now aligned/skipped correctly in overview table
  • Fixed NullPointerException during analysis when comparing time-duration-note tuples
  • Fixed FileNotFoundException when generating aggregated analysis reports for corpora
  • Tuplets endings are now only processed once (were processed twice under certain conditions)
