The Rosegarden team has announced the release of version 17.04 of Rosegarden, the musical notation editor and MIDI sequencer for Linux.

The most visible change in 17.04 is that David Faure has replaced the very brittle and complex style system with a complete rewrite using QStyle. Ted Felix invested the past ten months grinding through bugs, and cleaning Rosegarden's code to make it more efficient and maintainable. Significant areas cleaned up include: the Track Parameters box, TrackButtons, progress dialogs, and the Audio Mixer window. Yves Guillemot and David Faure squashed a few bugs as well.

New Features:

Hide unused frames for audio tracks in track parameters.

Improve handling of collapsing frames in track parameters and document properties.

Track 20 recent files, rather than 10.

Replace stylesheet with custom QStyle.
