System
- Entirely menu driven

- Context sensitive help
- Conversion of .ROL songs to ACCU Music System songs and ACCU
Music System songs to .ROL songs
- Fixes to advanced command limitations (i.e. not being able to
have KEY= and TIME= in same measure)
- Miscellaneous bug fixes
3/23/91 Version 2.1 Many bug fixes including:
- Missing extended measure rest sign: The extended measure rest
sign did not print in the music. The extended measure rest sign
now prints in the music correctly.
- Extended measure rest double digit count: Double digit counts
of extended measure rests (like the number 10) would cause
improper spacing of the number. Double digit counts now work
properly.
- Long staff line crash: If there were more than 50 notes in a
staff line, the program would crash. The buffer has been
expanded to 200 notes and will report an error message if more
than 200 notes are on a staff line.
- Tied note transposition: Notes that were tied across bar lines
would not retain any key changes in the note in the second
measure. This has been corrected.
- Improper page break: Often the program would print across the
page break. A new method of counting now makes the page breaks
more accurate.
- Cutting off of top of staff line: The top of the key signature
sometimes did not print. This has been fixed.
- Better syntax checking: Improper music commands now result in
an error message rather than causing poor print outs.

print margin changes; transposing program; key, time, title,
author setting from within music file; alto, tenor, and soprano
