0.3.1 - 2017-10-07

Added

• Live playback on the terminal: Mezzo compositions can now be played back live from the terminal using an external midi synthesiser (e.g. SimpleSynth) and Euterpea.
• Empty cadences: you can use end as a cadential phrase to compose a chord progression without a cadence.
• Score transformation: you can use the functions such as delay and transpose to manipulate music at the MIDI track level. While this allows for more flexibility, composition of Scores is not rule-checked, so there is no static guarantee that the resulting music will sound good.

Changed

• The melody constructor play has been renamed to start.

Fixed

• Readme typos and rule set changes in examples.
• Clashes with Prelude's min function.

0.3.0 - 2017-06-16

Added

• Chord progressions: create chord progressions following the conventions of functional harmony.
• Dyads: 2-note chords (thirds, fourths, fifths and octaves), together with their doubled versions.
• Scores: break up a piece into sections that can be compiled and combined separately, and specify various attributes of the music, such as tempo, title, key and time signature.
• Triplets: play three notes in the time of two.
• Rule sets: customise the musical rules checked by the library. Includes three strictness levels, from no rule-checking to strict counterpoint.
• Several small and large examples.

Changed

• Better error messages, showing the pitches that cause errors.
• Faster rule-checking performance.

0.2.0 - 2017-03-17

Initial Hackage release.
