08Nov
   still a bug in pause learn mode, but what the heck, out it goes...
   messing with learn mode (pianohero)
   made song picker, fixed randomness to not dup pick
   for AddTrack's default sound, you can set it sneakily via making a file in
      program files\Ditty\Ditty_Default_Sound.cfg (with the sound in it)
   hopping back in time while recording erases recorded events that are now
      "in the future" so you don't record notes on top of notes.
      It's done silently, but it's kinda necessary...:/
   implemented first cc "mod" command - FLIP swaps from 0..127 to 127..0
      in MidiCfg's input map
   in learn @ mode, now loops back to start and end of song

08Oct
   Well, QUITE a few bug fixes :(  :)
   Starting work on PianoHero mode...  toggle mute to ? and check it out...:)
      (click just left of first char of track name:  space => # => ? => space)

08Sep
   MAJOR RELEASE with full controller mapping, device types, way less ID #s
   taking .song/.trak files OUT of the users' world for simplicity
      just .mid and .song/.txt now :)
   redid docs - PHEW !!
   .song file format changes - you may need to read the docs again, sorry :/

08Feb - 08Aug
   a LOT of WORK...!!

07Dec
   MAJOR surgery to ditty and MidiIO.cpp and all kinds of stuff.
   MidiGuy gets sucked into the hellish Song class...:(

07Nov
   STABLE RELEASE NOT GONNA HAPPEN for a while - tons of code to rework
   finally got a decent table editor setup goin (w/ some minor ui annoyances:()

07Sep
   putting off fancy controller remapping biz to get a stable release again :/
   edit ctrl (prog change) can be on any channel now (on 1st inp dev of MidiCfg)
   any song in *Compose* dir turns on _rcrd now
      (so next song in playlist isn't hopped to at end of song)
   fixed bug w changing track sound - changing to an existing sound where the
      old one was used by other tracks broke the other tracks
   took out spoonfeeder for now - just not ready for primetime...:(
   took out mastervol,balance,tune in prep for real controller mapping

07Aug
   redoing MidiIn and MidiOut classes and MidiCfg app
      for better controller mapping and handling of RPN,NRPN
      well, thinkin bout it anyway...
   when MidiIn dev ain't on or when in use, just do nothin.  pop a Hey()
   Finally biting the bullet and converting docs to "shazware format".
      docs are now going to be only on the web - slims ditty.zip to 265K :)
      doc'ing my install/update details

07Jul
   MidiCfg,Ditty,Tinker(all midi cfg using apps)
      had to change midi config settings - can't store multimedia ID in config
      file since it CHANGES when usb midi connection are added and removed :(
      Make =SURE= you run MidiCfg -first- if you're updating Ditty
   EditKey is now TOP key for editing on midi kbd and
      only on -1st- midiin dev in list

07May
   DrumTrak
      automatically does Mid2Song/Txt2Trak and cleanup so you don't need to keep
      the .trak files around

07Apr
   new docs for piano practice :)      http://shazware.com/piano
   Ditty
      toggle mute (#) to ? to mark a track to learn
      keyboard is displayed and song pauses until keys are
      pressed/released to match
      (not sure this is useful...)
   docs update a bit for Txt2Trak

07Mar
   Txt2Trak
      repeat count at end of a #include .txt file includes it that many times
         ex:  #DrumPat\Click4 80       (will include it 80 x)
      new grace note dur of g
         ex:  g 5e@
            will create a legato 32nd note ENDing just before curr time
            (and won't bump time at all)
      new rolled chord via ~ prefix on dur
         ex:  ~q 5ceg6c
            will start the e a 64th note after the c,
            then the g a 64th after that, etc, etc
      tweaked V0..9 to map to vel=1-127
         not 0-127 - noteon velo=0 is defined as noteOFF by midi
         0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 => 1,15,29,43,57,71,85,99,113,127
         note sure how to map PP,P,MP,MF,F,FF exactly...?
            PP,P,MP,MF,F,FF => V2,V4,V6,V7,V8,V9
   Ditty
      looks for filename.txt matching .song file and calls Txt2Trak for you
         and kills off .trak when done
      squashed another sections time calc bug - was calcing tsig end time wrong
      note spoon feeder is done
         but i dunno if it'll be useful after all :((

07Feb
   Ditty
      started dev on "note spoon feeder"
      mark track as a "pracTrak" via mute mode (normal->mute->prac->normal->...)
      when pracTrak, live keyboard displayed with next press/releases to do
         (WAY too fast to humanly follow, but it's a start)
   Tinker
      song files can now store FINGERING !!
         hover over MIDDLE of note with songcontrol in focus (==> is green) and
         then mousewheel changes fingering :)   (similar to how you edit velo)
      has PRINT PREVIEW now :)    (major addition to StvLib :)
      prints song title n page number now
      shows sound+dev assoc'd w track in check'd listbox now
   Txt2Trak - new fingering syntax: append [5] to the note.  ex:  q 5e@[23]
   DOCS refresh - Eeeeeyuck !!  i hate doin that :P
   Mid2Song/Song2Mid
      saves fingering in .mid now  (dang 2/28 one last bug fixed for this)
      non GM sound names preserved in .mid and restored to .song now
      preserving Copyright now (except for that dang non-ascii circle-c char)

07Jan
   new Str class   (no functional change - just easier for me - no more LIMITS:)
   UPDATE - new app that checks (only) weekly for a new version of ditty to D/L
            when booting ditty (no background task stuff!)
      sees if local version.txt is over a week old
      if not, exits
      if so, update version.txt's date to today (so no bugging for min of a wk)
      D/L 10 byte version.txt from shazware.com
      sees if shazware.com's version.txt is newer than local version.txt
      if not, exits
      if so, asks to D/L - if no, just copies new version.txt to local
                           if yes, downloads new ditty.zip and exits
   Ditty/Tinker
      can load shorter times for lyrics,markers (ex:  1 = time 0, 1.2, etc)
      fixed time bugs w songs having tsigs not starting at time=0
   Tinker
      color note by sound, too :)
      right drag to delete or moveTrack events within boundary
      (and fixed bugs - and some more)

06Dec
   Tinker
      color notes by trakno as well as velocity now :)
      can save .mid format now  (via new Song2Mid.exe)
         when saving specify .mid file ext to save in midi fmt
      can edit note on and off velocity via mousewheel while hovering
      fixed some marker/lyric editing bugs
   Mid2Song tweaks
      port meta event fixes
      removed track# from track names
         otherwise after multiple mid2song+song2mid's track names grow :P
   took trk# out of marker events (to be like lyrics)

06Nov
   startin Song2Mid finally...  bleh :P
   Tinker wasn't sorting quite right for notes that end and start at the exact
      same time (which shouldn't really happen, but oh well, that's .mid for ya)

06Oct
   FIGURED OUT AudigyNotebook BUG!!! - can't reuse filenames for calced .SF2s!!!
   fixed Ditty/SFontSet to work w AudigyNotebook - ahhhhhhh :)

06Sep
   just piano practicin

06Aug
   Tinker can print now!
      prints columns of piano roll bars with notes oriented as on keyboard
      looks pretty good - a little diff than on screen,
         but good for making piano practicin' sheets

06Jul
   end of job again - practicing and sound sorting and figurin out what to fixup
   ditty - rec'ing new drum resizes screen now
   ditty,tinker - oops - skippin comments again while loading
      not req'ing .beat.ticks for marker pos anymore
   ditty
      shows marker in titlebar now
      fixed bug w loading sections (verse2 was picking verse, etc)
      #bars was wrong for sections
      when last section ended, wasn't skipping to next song
      was hopping too early on last section of track

06Jun
   SFontBank - added Y/N box for less wait (by skipping cleanup)
   Ditty - bugfix - rec'ing new drum snd not dumping to SFont dev
           did the sectionlist gui
           syncs tinker to "traktime" bar correctly now
   sf2SFont - deletes dup drum .psets now
      unfortunately in a random bank order (order the .sf2 has) but oh well
   Tinker - repeating bar report thingy can check more than 1 track now

06May
   MAJOR DOCS OVERHAUL - YOU BETTER APPRECIATE IT !!!
   Txt2Trak - fixed some bugs and made it able to include files indefinitely w #
   ditty - niggling bug fixes
   Ditty/SFontBank - sorting sounds a little better (based on rating, too)
   thinkin bout tinker...

06Apr
   Ditty
      Rate dialog will auto-rename _ sounds to without the _ and redo the dialog
         until you hit cancel.  Makes sorting thru new sounds MUCH easier!
         new song rating of X and  now set up
      TrkEdit now lets you tack on new recording tracks for drums,melodic sounds
      better recording
         can now just play new drum keys to create new drumtracks
         can record multiple device/chans into particular tracks now
      new edit track name,sound dialog
      fixed bugs in time calcs for editctl of time
   Tinker FINALLY can tell ditty to SHUTUP with the bar position notifications
   SFontBank - wasn't creating _x dir so left unused .WAV files there - fixed

06Mar
   EdiSn can now auto-chop-up a long wav of several songs by silent spots
      into individual wav files per song
   Ditty
      now strips common path prefixes outa filenames in the songlist
         (easier to read :)
      tweaked the ui layout a lot
      spiffed docs for Ditty to include keyboard mappings (plenty of em)
      sf2SFont now uses a _ prefix for the new pset files thrown into SFont dir
      ditty now sorts those to the end of the list per drum/inst
      rating a sound from _ to non _ leaves your current pos so you don't have
         to scoot all the way back to rate next sound
   FINALLY updating website !!!
   got my laptop networked - ahhh - can debug to desktop now
      plus nicer ALL around - shoulda done this looong ago

06Feb
   debugging the stupid audigy notebook bug - arrrrrrrgh - can't reproduce it:(

06Jan
   Ditty now does KEYS for (rather lame) midi input (finallly)
      z and row to right have low c notes (with sharps in row above)
      q and row to right have middle c notes (with sharps above)
      cursor down/up change the note velocity (default of 100)
      cursor left/right change octave (default of 4 for z row, 5 for q row)
      f1-f8 do toolbar buttons
      f9-f12 do arrow buttons (value editing for rightmost arrows)
      shift f9-shift f12 do leftmost arrow buttons
   sections basically work, but currently have no gui.
      i'm tired of em for now :(
      edit song by hand and put in SECTIONS: block with
         marker strings in order/reps desired -
         markers MUST be on a bar boundary currently
      ditty can skip forward/back a section via EdTime
   starting to organize my soundfonts (agaaaaain)
   sf2SFont
      puts converted (non gm default) .sf2 presets into
      SFont\_\SFPre\psetname.pset    for non gm and
      SFont\_\GMDir\GMPre_SFPre.pset for gm nondefault
      SFont\Drum\_\grp\sym\sym_SFPre.pset for drums
      This way you can easily review the NEW presets in the _ dirs and
         kill em all off if you want or get em in the right GM dirs and
         move em to your main "all sorted out" dirs.
   want to work on somethin FUN
      so thinkin bout an "auto pitch bender" to take a sin/saw sfont inst and
      autogenerate pitchbend events to get that "monosynth sound"...
      Or die tryin...  Or give up...  Or -WHAT-everrrr...

05Dec
   still goin...

05Nov
   working on sections of markers
      marker ctrl changes split sequence in time
      sections (in .song file) list sections (delim'd by markers)
         to play the song parts (verse, chorus, bridge, etc) in any order/reps
      many changes to ditty timing, a few minor changes to tinker, mid2song

05Oct

05Mar
   fixed sound rating bug during delete - it WORKS :)
   TONS of new ideas from Dominique Paon - my brainz a-swimmin'
      what to do first...  hmm...  thinkin time...:)
   timing glitches have been due to background UI bmp tiling :(
      spare the gui glitz till i figure out why...
      thinkin bout using events in midiguy rather than msgloop
   tinker gui for copying a clip is there but doesn't do anything yet

95-96???
   95 was a busy year - bought house, had 2nd child, got married :)
   Dove into the Mac - I didn't want to be a clone...
   got some midi interface code started
   got to the point of debugging a REALLY early start on a sequencer
   totally GAVE UP and committed myself to CLONEZ.

89-94???
   First dive into building a sequencer and patch editor for the Amiga
   It was about as functional as Ditty's Sep99 windows version
   I was happy.  Commodore died.  I was sad.
