ah-ha! Now I get it. I think that swing function is going to come in handy.
I also think converting the help files to html would work very nicely, but I
heard that there were problems with that. Just as long as users of win XP as
well as Vista can read the help files in one way or another I'll be
satisfied

Hi there, I'll try and explain what swing does, but it's more aimed at
those among us with a bit of music theory knoledge but here goes. If
someone wants to step up and translate this to more accessible language if
needed, feel free.
Anyway, what I believe swing does is the following. Say you have just a
straight 4/4 beat, say disco style. Now, if you were to swing this, then
you'd get something like a 6/8, jazzy type thing. Is this correct?
Also, on a different note, I think that converting the hlp files to the
newer chm format is a good move. I know for instance, that it will be a
lot easier for supernova/hal users to read the chm files.
thanks,
Arthur.

Hi folks,
Just wanted to say that I'm hoping to release a new version of QWS soon.
I had wanted to add more functions before release, but I'm going to be
away for quite a bit next month and I thought that if I didn't do
something now, it might well be next year before anything else got done.
Anyway, the new version will have the following:
- Translatable user interface via a "prompt" file. If anyone is
interested in translating QWS into other languages, a translation guide
will be available.
- This does mean that QWS takes a little longer to load, so I added a
splash screen for while it's loading.
- Quantise swing function: the quantise tool has an additional parameter
that lets you swing the resulting quantised notes. Took me a little
while to get the mathematics right there but I think it's OK now.
- Also a couple of bug fixes. I'm slightly surprised that no-one
noticed one of the bugs I've fixed.
- Also, because of the removal of traditional Windows help (.HLP) in
Vista, I am converting the help file into HTML help format. This means
that probably after this coming release, we will have .CHM instead of
.HLP. I'm still working on this one though so it probably won't be
ready just yet.
Out of interest, is anyone using QWS under Vista? How does it go?
Converting the help to HTML also presents some interesting questions for
the document version of the manual - I've yet to deal with that.
Right, that's enough waffle from me for now.
James.
