New version, new toys and (maybe) new bugs. The newest release, 20.12.3 is now on line for your musical enjoyment! Lots of serious enhancements to play with ... see the details on the download page and in the text/CHANGES-20 file.

Feedback on these interim releases is vital to keep your favorite accomp generator working properly, free of bugs and just plain cool! Let me know what you think about features. And, don't forget to send along grooves which can be added to future distros!

RPMs for Fedora, RedHat and other RPM-based systems are available in the usual location:

If you guys have notices, there is now an ONLY and SKIP option in ALLGROOVES to limit the modifications. However, the logic is using a complete match right now. Question: Should we change this to permit a partial match. And, if so, would this be regex (please not!) of some other matching algorithm?

Logic from my point: You might want to change all the grooves except for the "end"s. So, you could have something like "Swing", "Swing-foo", "Swing-End1", "Swing-End2". Maybe I'd like to change "Swing" and "Swing-Foo" ... so I'll limit using Skip=Swing-End1,Swing-End2 ...

The way it is is most likely sufficient, but I'd like some feedback.

I have yet to find use cases for this, but in general I'm inclined to say that Swing refers to Swing only, while Swing-* could refer to all Swing-foo derivations.

Swing* could refer to Swing including all derivates (Swing, Swing-Foo, Swing-Bar, but not SwingLow, ...).

I'm thinking along the same line. I'll have to have a look next week and see what the code looks like.
