been extended to allow for an octave offset. In the following example

November 30 2011

Abc2midi slurring bug.

H, abc2midi fails to recognize the rest.

December 11 2011

Abc2midi: lyrics bug with inline voices.

of 6).

March 08 2012

voice overlays and gracenotes present.

March 22 2012

Abc2midi repeat error message:

abc2midi runs without error messages if the tunes are processed
individually.

March 26 2012

Abc2midi fermata bug:

March 29 2012

Abc2midi bug: abc2midi applies fermatas to all chords in which the
length is set outside the chord.

March 30 2012

Abc2midi bug: more bugs when fermata is applied to a chord.

April 1 2012

Abc2midi: new feature. Introduced a new option (-TT)  to tune the key of
A above or below 440.0 Hz but less than a semitone. The output MIDI
file will re-tune to that frequency. The purpose of this feature
is to accommodate some instruments like the accordian which are
not tune exactly to 440.0 Hz.

April 03 2012

Abc2midi -tuning. Changed to the lower frequency limit to 414.9 to
permit A=415 Hz, a common tuning for Baroque music. The bend
variable is still limited between 0 and 16383.

April 15 2012

Abc2midi - lyrics. The function checksyllables() in genmidi.c emits
warnings even when there do not seem to be any errors in the
placement of the lyrics. I do not know how to fix this problem,
or even whether a fix exists. Furthermore, the warnings do not
appear useful as they are not very specific. Users can easily
check the placement of the syllables by viewing the score produced
by abcm2ps.  The error message in checksyllables() is now suppressed
except when running abc2midi in verbose mode.

Changelog:
October 21 2011

Abc2midi bug: %%MIDI control command after a rest causes loss of
synchronization. In the following example

X:1
T: Synchronization Loss after rest (z2)
V:1
V:2
M: 4/4
K:F#dor
V:1
|: A,G, | F,G,F,G, A,B,A,G, | F,4-F,2 :|
V:2
%%MIDI program 65
|:\
%%MIDI control 7 40
 de|  f4 z2
%%MIDI control 7 80
GA|  f4-f2\
:|

The control command is used to modulate the loudness of the alto saxophone
in voice 2. The second control command which attenuates the saxophone
to velocity 80 introduces another delay of z2 causing the following
notes G and A to be played one beat late (into the next bar).

Analysis: The second control command introduces a beat delay because
delta_time is not zero when the function write_event is called. (Delta_time
is not zero after a rest so that the following note will be delayed.)

Fix: write_event should not introduce any delay, so that delta_time was
replaced by 0 in the function call mf_write_midi_event(..). The function
write_event is also called to turn on (off) portamento, to handle
pitch_bend, pedal on and pedal off MIDI commands. (Hopefully, this
change does not introduce a bug in the other functions.)
