- Improved the appearance of the piano, to look more realistic.
- Added a new menu option "Show Note Letters" which displays the actual

the notes during playback (one for left hand, one for right hand).

MidiSheetMusic 2.1 (Feb 6, 2011)
- Ported MidiSheetMusic to Ubuntu Linux, using C#/Mono.
It uses Timidity for playing the MIDI sound.
- Changed how we choose black notes. Before, we would use either all
sharps or all flats, depending on the key signature. If the key
was F major (1 flat), then we only use flats (e.g. we use G-flat
instead of F-sharp). Now, we use the following method:
* Use F# and C# instead of G-flat and D-flat
* Use B-flat instead of A#
* For all other black keys, use the same accidental (sharp/flat)
that the key signature uses. For C major, use sharps.
This required modifications to the KeySignature methods
GetWhiteNote and GetAccidental.
- Changed MidiFile.ReadTrack so that if it encounters a truncated
Midi file, it returns what it has parsed so far, instead of
throwing an exception.
- Improved the accuracy and speed of the MidiFile.SplitTrack() method.
- Previously, the Volume slider only worked on Windows XP.
Fixed it to work on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
- When printing, include the MIDI filename at the top of the first page.
- Fixed errors in the MusicSymbolDiagram at the bottom of README.html.
- Display the message "Use the menu File:Open to select a MIDI file" on
startup.
