Checks & Colours

• added 'ms3 check' command
• support of coloured labels
• write coloured labels to score comparing attached and detached labels to each other
• chord_type of Ger, It, Fr = Ger, It, Fr

Hotfixes

• small bug fixes
• correct computation of chord tones for new DCML syntax elements +M, -, ^, and v (standard v0.2.1)

MSCZ support and file conversion

• ms3 0.4.1 supports parsing (but not storing) compressed MuseScore files (.mscz)
• Install "ms3 convert" command to your system for batch conversion using your local MuseScore installation
• "ms3 extract" command now supports creation of log files
• take labels_cfg into account when creating expanded chord tables

Major improvements

• The standard column 'onset' has been renamed to 'mc_onset' and 'mn_onset' has been added as an additional standard column.
• Parse TSV files as Annotations objects
• Parse.attach_labels() for inserting annotations into MuseScore files
• Prepare detached labels so that they can actually be attached
• Install "ms3 extract" command to the system
• Including da capo, dal segno, fine, and coda for calculating 'next' column in measures tables (for correct unfolding of repeats)
• Simulate parsing and table extraction
• Passing labels_cfg to Score/Parse to control the format of annotation lists
• Easy access to individual parsed files through Parse[ID] or Parse[ix]
• parse annotation files with diverging column names

More functionality for the Parse class

• Parse.detach_levels() for emptying all parsed scores from annotations
• Parse.store_mscx() for storing altered (e.g. emptied) score objects as MuseScore files
• Parse.metadata() to return a DataFrame with all parsed pieces' metadata
• Parse.get_labels() to retrieve labels of a particular kind
• Parse.info() has improved the information that objects return about themselves
• Parse['key'] for a quick overview of the files of a given key
• Parse can be used with a custom index instead of IDs [an ID is an (key, i) tuple]
• Score.store_list() for easily storing TSVs
• improved expansion of DCML harmony labels

Beta stage

New features:

• attaching and detaching labels
• parsing multiple pieces at once
• extraction of metadata from scores
• inclusion of staff text, dynamics and articulation in chord lists, added 'auto' mode
• conversion of MuseScore's encoding of absolute chords
• first version of docs

Basic functionality

At this stage, the library can parse MuseScore 3 files to different types of lists:

• measures
• chords (= groups of notes)
  • including slurs and spanners such as pedal, 8va or hairpin markings
  • including lyrics
• notes
• harmonies

and also some basic metadata.

First beta

This release has the basic skeleton of the library and is able to parse measure lists.
