New features
- Algorithm for merging accented characters
drawn in two parts.
- When exporting tracks, it is now possible to
process voice parts specifically in order to
create a separate file for each voice,
highlighting the main voice. This can be
achieved by either reducing the sound level of
other singers (while keeping the orchestration
unchanged) or by placing the main voice on the
right and all other voices on the left in the
stereo position.
This feature is especially useful for
choirmasters who can easily generate practice
tracks for their singers.
Improvements
- The mode for excluding oversized images from
processing has been extended to filled
rectangles.
- Improved handling of legato.
- Enhanced management of rests in chords.
- When displaying the key signature on a system
with two staves, the key signature now appears
on both staves.
- Separate track export is now available in
batch export, allowing the creation of a
customized set of tracks from a list of PDF
files.
- To avoid a series of dialog boxes, the digital
export format is no longer prompted every time
but can be selected via a button.
- Ability to define the default Unicode mode of
operation: new "Fonts" tab in the preferences.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue with launching on Mac OS 13.4
with M1 chip.
- Fixed an intrusive message when manipulating
the Myriad HQ palette.
- Fixed an issue where it was impossible to
disable Virtual Singer when the score was empty.
- Fixed an issue where music would automatically
play upon loading documents at application
launch.

configuration dialog box, which was centered on
