[*] Works in Windows XP. You may need to install or upgrade components of Visual C + + from the Microsoft's website: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582

[*] Added a new type of exercise - "Chords". This mode is very similar to the mode "Random Notes", but instead of scattered consonances is generated major and minor chords.

[*] Now the MusicXML files are loaded of version 1.0 and type "score-timewise". So, you can now open .XML files exported from the "Guitar Pro 5". An example file "Chuck Berry Style.xml" added to "Exercises" directory. Unfortunately, "Guitar Pro 5" exports all notes on only one (tremble) stave, and does not keep information about their grouping, slurs, etc.

[*] It became possible to change the clefs not only on the boundary of the measure. Example: 22nd measure of the file "Rigodon.mxl" from "Exercises" directory.

// NoteTrainer PRO 25-05-2013:
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading exercises from the MusicXML-file has become more convenient. Has appeared a custom list of files from which you can form your own collection of exercises. For each exercise from the list of remembered the best result achieved. Improved algorithm for calculation of points. He has become a much more objective and flexible.

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// NoteTrainer PRO 12-05-2013:
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Connected the library "zlib". Now, you can use it to load packed MusicXML files (. MXL). Increased the number of musical symbols displayed: appeared slurs. Both of these improvements can be verified on the file "Frosty winter time.mxl" from the directory "Exercises".

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed a few bugs. (And certainly added new ones). There was a scoring function for the correct notes played. The result is displayed in the lower right corner of the status bar. The number of points depends on the speed of play, the values of the intervals between the notes playable, and the number of mistakes.

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Debugging continues.
