Changes for version 6.030 - 2023-09-18

  • !Highlights
  • [ABC](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/directives-env_abc/) and [Lilypond](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/directives-env_ly/) embedding now use SVG (vector graphics) instead of pixmap images. This is very crisp at all sizes, and greatly reduces the size of the resultant PDF document.
    • No additional tools are required for embedding, except the `abc2svg` and `lilypond` tools. The installer kits for MS Windows and MacOS already include the `abc2svg` tool.
  • The ChordPro GUI (`wxchordpro`) has been extended with a Tasks menu that can be used to quickly select presets for a specific task. For example, to produce a PDF with only lyrics, or with keyboard diagrams instead of string diagrams. User presets can be added by placing small config files in a `tasks` folder under the `CHORDPRO_LIB`.
  • !ChordPro functionality
  • Directives and config to change the [chorus appearance](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/directives-props_chorus_legacy/).
  • Add support for SVG images. Allow `pdf.fonts.XXX` as fonts in SVG.
  • Handle ABC and Lilypond embedding via SVG images. No more need for ImageMagick. Add 'staffsep' option for ABC embedding.
  • Add 'omit' to delegates config.
  • Infer chord inversions for keyboard.
  • Use SVGPDF text callback to substitute missing flat/sharp glyphs.
  • Trap missing font sizes (should not happen).
  • !Breaking changes
  • The image scale strategy was changed to be more intuitive. See [this forum message](https://groups.io/g/ChordPro/message/1846) for details.
  • !Experimental
  • A primitive but effective docker based web app.
