Since the manual was printed we have added some new features and made some 
changes to Cadenza. The First change is that Cadenza comes on only one disk.
You MUST use the Casetup program to produce a working copy of cadenza.
 
Another change is the addition of a pan control for each track on the
track sheet.

The third change is the addition of a Tap Tempo feature. Tap Tempo allows
you to record a composition without the metronome and then later create a
tempo map. This is useful when trying to add sequenced part to a previously
recorded tape or when doing an improvisation. To use tap tempo, you record 
your first track without the metronome. Next you record a Tap track by
playing a note on your midi keyboard (or controller) along with the previously
recorded track. Once you've recorded the tap track, you then select the
'Tap Tempo' selection from the Conductor menu. Fill in the subdivision of the
beat you used (quarter note, eighth, etc.) and then select 'OK'. Cadenza will
then construct a tempo map based on your tap track! Erase the Tap track; it
will be out of sync and isn't needed anymore. Now you can continue to record
tracks with the metronome on at the freeform tempo.

The other changes affect SMPTE Sync operation. One is the support of new
features that Music Quest MQX-32M now have, namely a higher clock tick rate
and support for the 24 and 25 frames per second SMPTE rates. The second 
change is in the way that Cadenza deals with SMPTE frame rates on playback. 

Cadenza now shows the SMPTE time when trying to chase SMPTE. Cadenza also
lets you use the GOTO command to goto the absolute SMPTE time as well as 
from the time relative to the start of the song. SMPTE offset and Sync Delay 
are also saved in SONG and SETUP files.

The Sync Option allows SMPTE time to be displayed in absolute or relative 
mode. Absolute time is tape time. Relative is time from beginning of 
sequence.

Supports ega monochrome.  The Environment string VIDTYPE can be set to 
EGAMONO to force the mode.


NEW FEATURES
============================================================================
New Transpose Features
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The transpose feature now includes some new features that will allow you to
perform more complex changes than the old command. The dialog now includes
an 'Amount' selection and a 'From-To' selection. 

The Amount selection allows you to transpose in half steps. For instance, 
you want to transpose down one whole step you would enter '-2' since one 
whole step is 2 half steps.

The From-To selection is more powerful than the Amount selection. It lets you 
limit both the range of notes transposed and the range of the notes that 
result from the transposition. If you enter a backwards range into the To
range Cadenza will invert the notes transposed.

New high resolution tick rate available to Music Quest MQX-32 owners!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
240 ppqn is now supported. The option will only appear in the dialog box
if the MIDI card supports it.

New SMPTE frame rates available to Music Quest MQX-32 owners!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 and 25 fps SMPTE rate are now supported. There are no feature bits to
indicate support for the new rates. If user's card does not have the rates,
then they simply won't work. 


SMPTE is now easier to use!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the past, it was necessary to tell Cadenza which frame rate the SMPTE stripe
on your tape was. This is no longer necessary. Cadenza now determines the 
frame rate by reading the tape. Due to this welcome change, the radio buttons 
in the SMPTE version of the Sync box are gone. The frame rate is now specified
when you stripe the tape and frame rate buttons have been added the Stripe 
dialog box.

PAN added to the track sheet!!!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since adding volume to the track sheet we have been asked 'why not add pan, 
too'. Well, O.K., we have! Enjoy!

M Command Line Options
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you start Cadenza with the 'M' Option (ex- CADENZA M) it will treat
your MIDI Interface as a standard MPU-401 even if it is a Music Quest or
similar interface with advanced capabilities. This is necessary because some
cards, CMS is one we know of, behave differently from the MPU-401 and the 
Music Quest Cards. These cards can fail to initialize when used with the 
older versions of Cadenza.

MIDIFILE Import Changes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Cadenza was previously asked to import a MIDIFILE and there wasn't
enough room for either the whole song or any single track, Cadenza would
refuse to load the file and return to a 'NEW' song state. Cadenza will now 
read as much of the MIDIFILE as possible, warning you when a track is too long
or if it ran out of memory. Previous versions of Cadenza also had problems
with importing MIDIFILES with a lot of tempo changes properly. Cadenza now 
will handle tempo changes in MIDIFILES properly.

MOUSE Problems
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Previous versions of Cadenza had problems with certain older Mouse Drivers and
certain 'generic' Taiwanese mouses. The mouse cursor would not be drawn 
properly. This was not a problem with Microsoft, Logitec, Genius or other
brand-name mouses unless their driver software was out of date. In the case of
an out of date driver, upgrading to a newer mouse driver always solved the
problem. However, it is impossible for some of you to upgrade because you 
can't reach the manufacturer, expecially with Taiwanese mouses. We have
implemented a solution that works with many of these old mouses. If you have 
had problems in the past and couldn't upgrade your mouse software, try your
mouse with this new version. It should work fine. If it doesn't you still 
need to find a newer mouse driver, because we've done all we can.

Better MIDI File Support
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MIDIFILE tracks that are too large to fit in one track will overflow 
to the next track. This limited to one overflow track per midi file
track. But you should be able to read and play MIDI Files that previously 
caused problems.

New Controller 0 Name
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controller 0 is now named BANK SELECT to reflect the change in the MIDI spec.

R Command Line Options
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This option tells the MIDI card not to send MIDI real-time messages out the
MIDI Port. Real Time Messages include MIDI Time Code (sent in SMPTE MODE) 
and MIDI Start, Stop and Clock messages. This is helpful with keyboards that 
have internal sequencers that you can't set a parameter to keep from playing. 
If you are using an M1 or M1R it will keep you from getting strange notes 
when locked to SMPTE.
