Alpha 2

New Installers

• Added a 32-bit installer for Windows XP users. If you installed the previous alpha release, keep using the win64 version.
• An OS X installer is now available.

New Features / Improvements

• Completely rewritten importer for Guitar Pro 3,4,5 files with numerous bug fixes and improvements
  • Grace notes are now imported from Guitar Pro files (#32)
  • Irregular groups are now imported from Guitar Pro files (#11)
• Drawing the score is now significantly faster for large documents.

• Improved the readability of the score by adding a small white border around tab notes, and switched to a lighter color for tab lines.
• Improved MIDI playback for muted notes (#51)
• Long beam groups (such as eight 16th notes in 4/4 time) are now subdivided for improved readability.

• The buttons in the playback widget now have keyboard shortcuts, associated menu items, and more useful tooltips (#14)
• Listesso and triplet feel tempo markers are now drawn correctly (#44)
• Fixed issues where the automatic scrolling during MIDI playback became laggy (#56)
