Music Processing Suite 1.8.0 was released on January 31, 2021.

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.
• Launch configuration are opened when created initially
• Console is automatically shown when generating music analysis reports with LaTeX
• Implicit harmony analysis is now enabled by default
• Enhanced mechanisms to locate GraphViz/LaTex/MuseScore executables on various operating systems
• Improved documentation for LaTeX installation

• D.S. al coda (dal segno al coda) can now be handled when expanding MusicXML files
• Partials (anacruses) with measure number 0 are now processed correctly when parsing MusicXML files
• MusicXML parser can now handle the file extension *.musicxml
• 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)
• Analysis view now refreshes appropriately when selecting resources from other projects
• When running analyses without GraphViz installed, no error dialogs will be shown
• Deactivated MusicXML key editor due to serialization issues that will be fixed in a future version
