PowerTracks 8.0a update
Changes and fixes for Since 8.0:
NEW FEATURE: Special "Record Mixer Moves" button in the mixer window
which will let you record only mixer moves. This solves the problem
in which you could not hear the current Track when recording mixer
moves if the Current Track was an audio track. This button also
simplifies the recording of mixer moves, by ensuring that ONLY
mixer moves get recorded.
NEW FEATURE: Chord wizard will now work for time signatures that
aren't x/4, such as 6/8.
**NOTE**: to get the above feature to work, we had to change the way
PowerTracks stores chord symbols. Before, one chord per "Beat"
was allowed, with a "Beat" always being equal to the current PPQ.
Now a "Beat", for the purpose of storing chords, is equal to a
numerator division. For example, if a measure is 6/8, you can now
enter up to 6 chords per bar, although you likely would not
normally enter this many.
**NOTE** This change has no effect if your songs had an X/4 time
signature.
Although PowerTracks technically didn't support chord symbols for
odd time signatures, you may have already entered chord symbols for
odd time signature songs (other than X/4), even though they didn't
display perfectly. If so, you'll find that the chord symbols for
those songs may be now be significantly out of alignment. If this
is the case, and you want the chords to work the old way (one chord
per PPQ-based beat), then you should place a file called
"OldChords.Txt" in your PowerTracks folder. If this file exists
when starting PowerTracks, chords will work the old way. However,
we recommend using the chord wizard to automatically regenerate the
chords, or possibly re-entering the chords rather than sticking
with the old chord system.
BUGS FIXED since 8.0:
FIXED - Undo menu text was incorrectly updated if a non-realtime audio
effect was launched but the edit operation was then canceled.
FIXED - removing a mono track with the Remove Track command
could've caused stereo tracks not to work correctly.
FIXED - error messages during paste with repetitions if tempos or
markers checkboxes were checked and no tempos or markers had been
copied or cut.
FIXED - Slow Notation for VERY long songs or when multiple notation
windows open.
FIXED - song end time set incorrectly when entering a lyric in the
notation window
FIXED - general protection fault when printing notation
FIXED - mixer moves weren't yet taken into account when merging audio
tracks to a stereo .WAV file for 8.0.
FIXED - Time field for Text events couldn't be changed
FIXED - Load Scrap didn't yet load chord symbols for 8.0
FIXED - incorrect event times when recording mixer moves if the
audio offset in MS was non-zero.
FIXED - When using PG Chord Font for notation chord symbols, flat
symbol was drawn with upper case B.
FIXED - Chord wizard only detected chords for HALF the song if it
was a 2/4 song
FIXED - Chords wizard wouldn't interpret more than around 250 bars
FIXED - looping sometimes didn't play midi notes after the first
loop in certain situations
FIXED - Fill Track with Drum Pattern command didn't work with files
that had lowercase extensions
FIXED - sometimes launching PT by clicking on a .MID or .SEQ didn't
load the file (if windows was set up to run PT when clicking on
those files). Lower case extensions and spaces in file names were
problematic.
FIXED - non-realtime DirectX effects host didn't work with 24-bit
files. Also, there was timing problem when using the non-Realtime
effects with 24-bit, meaning that a slightly different section of
the file may have been affected by the editing.
FIXED - error message would pop up when entering time values in event list or
cut/paste, if a song's time signature had a denominator less than 4
FIXED - access violation in DXPLUG^.EXE after canceling
non-realtime processing of audio if it was already in progress
