[Tapper-develop] New File Release (Sort of)

[Greg B. <gbr...@ho...>]

Hello Everyone:

Well, you've all been very patient.  But I finally have a new file
release up on sourceforge (sort of).  I say "Sort of" because
sourceforge seems to be having some trouble right now.  I can't get it
to serve up any web pages.  It just hangs there saying "stalled".

However, At some point in the very near future you will see version
0.01G

This version has MANY major improvements.  The main one being the
addition a fully functional fretboard object and fingering objects.  The
main place you can see these is in the color dialog.  All the attributes
of the fretboard object can have their colors changed by Rex's color
dialog.  I put a major chord in the color box so you could see some
fingerings.  You'll notice that you can even select teh active and
non-active colors as well as see the interval names.

Also, there is a mockup of the diagram panel on the main screen that
uses a couple of fretboard objects.

The fact that the fretboard works means that the following objects:
Formula, Fingering, FingeringSet, Interval, Note, GridColors, Tuning,
FretDot, and FretDotSet all work.  THAT means that we've opened up a lot
of development oppurtunities.

1.  We can now build some sort of gui to create new chord and scale
formulas.
2.  We can work on the process of building chord and scale fingerings
from a tuning and formula object.
3.  We can start on the ear training and flash card sections.
4.  We can even work on MIDI implementation.

This really opens a lot of options.  I know everyone has been waiting
for me to get this work done and I'm sorry it took so long. I took a
sick day off today and finally finished it. :-)

So I'm pretty happy about it.  Go ahead and download it and let me know
what you think.

Thanks

Greg
