VERSION NOTES:
v0.7.9b
*****************
*** IMPORTANT ***
*****************
*** THESE CHANGES MIGHT BREAK COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER PATCHES ***
- bach.constraints The syntax for provisionals has changed
- bach.roll The order of enumindex options for showaccidentalspreferences and

showaccidentalstiepreferences has changed
- bach.roll, bach.score The "getpixelpos" and "gettimeatpixel" messages are now

deprecated. Use the new "timetopixel" and "score_pixeltotime" instead.
The "durationslinewidth" attribute is now called
"durationlinewidth"
- bach.score The "rebeam" message is now deprecated, and substituted by

the "autorhythm" and "autobeam" messages
Now maketreecompatiblewithts and the syncopation attributes only
apply when autoparserhythm is on.
- bach.quantize The "deny" message is now called "forbid".

("deny is kept for compatibility reasons, but should be
avoided).
New "multimeasure" and "tempohandling" attributes, changing the
default way to deal with marker-based quantization
- bach.ratnum Display and colors have been updated to Max7-style. This

may cause unexpected color combinations in your patches.
*** INTERFACE CHANGES ***

voice (if too low or too high).
Use Shift+Ctrl as modifiers on Mac to allow voice change.
- bach.score Now backspace on selected measure will only clear the

measure content. Use Shift+Backspace to delete measures

-----------------------------
v0.7.3b
*****************
*** IMPORTANT ***
*****************
- bach.score, bach.roll, bach.write

A file extension is no longer automatically added to a file name
provided via message
- bach.score VERY IMPORTANT: THE COMPLETE TIMEPOINT SYNTAX HAS CHANGED!!!

If you set explicitly the voice number, now the complete syntax
is:
(<voice_number> <measure_number> <position_in_measure>).
Beware: the voice number used to be the last element!
If you didn't use the explicit voice number, this does not
concern you.
However this concerns all the point in which timepoint syntax is
used, namely:
- In setting or getting measure-attached Marker position
- In setting or getting the loop region position (if measure-
attached)
- In selection or querying messages, where timepoint can take the
place of millisecond positions
Please notice that measure-attached markers and loop region
position are AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED when
you open your old patches, so you just need to save them again.
For anything else, on the other hand, you should UPDATE your
patches to support the new syntax!
- bach.roll The "sel note" and "sel chord" syntaxes have changed!!!
Now (optional) voice number is FIRST argument (no longer the
last).
Please update your patches
- bach.constraints Negative return values are not considered as "reject" by

the heuristic solver,
but they concour to the solution score just like non-
negative values.
The "reject" keyword now causes the solution to be
rejected.

***********************
- New tutorial: "From OpenMusic to bach"
- bach.split New abstraction
- bach.weights New external
- bach.diag, bach.minfo, bach.slot

Now these are properly included in Windows

A file extension is no longer automatically added to a file
name provided via message
A file extension is now automatically added if missing to a
file name provided via a save dialog box.
- bach.roll, bach.score Fixed bug ignoring editing in slots external editors

when the whole slot content was cleared.
Fixed bug causing wrong copy/paste of empty slots
Now navigating the score while a slot window is open causes
the slot window to navigate too.
New "playoutfullpath" attribute to output full path
information of played notes/chords from the playout.
Native lllls are now correctly read
Now chord creation/deletion can be set as "preventedit",
independently from note creation/deletion
- bach.roll Now gluechord properly works also with symbolic names of

notes
- bach.score Fixed bug causing wrong interface for rhythmic trees

Improved speed in rhythmic tree parsing and handling
"sel chord/note/measure" messages added
selmeasures/unselmeasures/selectmeasures are now
deprecated:
a new "sel measure range" analogous syntax has been
added instead
Floating point measure numbers or measure onsets in
timepoints are now fully supported.
Now it is by default instantiated with an empty measure, to
better distinguish between a bach.score and a bach.roll.
No more crashes under repeated sequence of "delete"
messages.
- bach.constraints Fixed various bugs in the heuristic engine.

Negative return values are not considered as "reject" by
the heuristic solver,
but they concour to the solution score just like non-
negative values.
The "reject" keyword now causes the solution to be
rejected.
- bach.geomser Factors -1 and 1 are accepted if a maximum count is

provided
A list of integers is returned if all the arguments are
integers
- bach.scramble Fixed bug causing random crashes and other issues
- bach.group No longer crashes with badly formed count llll
- bach.pipe Rightmost inlet now accepts time in native format
- bach.split New abstraction
- bach.wellshape Now pad element is really optional (default is 0)
- bach.prepend Now supports @inwrap and @outwrap attributes
- bach.pad Fixed bug causing wrong output for lists having exactly the
output size
- bach.counter Now sending integers to increment individual indices
does not send minimum configuration any more
e.g. if starting configuration is 0 0 0 0, sending
[1] will already output 1 0 0 0, and so on
"setnext" message behavior fixed
-----------------------------
v0.7.2b
*****************
*** IMPORTANT ***
*****************
*** DEPRECATED OBJECTS ***

- bach.msort, bach.ssort Deprecated. Still fuctional as of v0.7.2b, but might
be not be included in future releases of bach.
Please use bach.sort instead (it has been greatly
optimized, so it is no longer significantly outperformed by bach.ssort).
- bach.oneperm Deprecated. Still fuctional as of v0.7.2b, but might

Please use bach.perm instead, with the new "maxcount"
attribute set to 1.
- bach.mdelace Deprecated. Still fuctional as of v0.7.2b, but might

Please use [bach.delace mono].
*** DEPRECATED ABSTRACTIONS ***

- bach.nsubs Deprecated. Still fuctional as of v0.7.2b, but might
Please use bach.subs instead, with the new "multi"
attribute set to 1.
- bach.ninsert Deprecated. Still fuctional as of v0.7.2b, but might

Please use bach.insert instead, with the new "multi" and
(in order to replicate exactly the previous behavior) "mode" attributes set to 1.
- bach.slot A middle inlet has been added!!! Please modify all your
patches using the right inlet ("bang when changed").
The "done" message is now sent through this inlet (as well
as other notifications and queries).
A "slot" router has been added at the beginning of each
"dump" (as for bach.roll and bach.score)
- bach.roll, bach.score An @autoclear attribute has been put in place, so

that by default [bach.roll] and [bach.score] act exactly as [bach.beatbox] and
[bach.quantize]
(and [bach.collect], somehow) upon separate parameter
input: by default, the content is DELETED and rebuilt. If you want to step back
to the previous behaviour (where the actual content
is CHANGED when introducing new separate parameters), just set "@autoclear 0".
By default, thus, one doesn't need to send a "clear"
message beforehand any more.
Attribute @selectednotecolor is now named @selectioncolor
colors linked to integer note slots have been changed, in

order to avoid confusion with default lock/mute/solo/selection colors
Now void messages like (slotinfo) (clefs) (keys) won't
change the existing clefs, keys and slotinfo to a default one.
(Of course messages like (marker) will still set no
marker in the score)
The "showyscrollbar" attribute is now named
"showvscrollbar", for coherence with the vzoom one.
The "linknoteheadadjusttoslot" vertical shift now shifts
down when positive and up when negative (as anything else in Max).
"retranscribeselection" message is now renamed as "respell"
"snapallpitchestogrid" and "retranscribe" messages no
longer exist. Use "select all, snappitchtogrid" or "select all, respell" instead.
loop region is output by bach score (when queried) in the
form: loop <start_ms> <end_ms> <start_timepoint> <end_timepoint>. Timepoints
are thus not given with an additional parentheses
level.
- bach.roll By default alignment is made on notehead centers, and NO

MORE ON STEMS! You can set the @align attribute to do what you want.
- bach.score Now loop region is always output as (<measure_number>

<point_in_measure> <voice_number>) triplets.
The attribute @autoretranscribe has been renamed to
@autobeam.
Now you can assign rests also directly via cents, by using
() or nil instead of a pitch. This should not break any compatibility, unless you
had relied over the fact that, previously, ()
associated to a positive duration gave a default dummy note.
Now () associated to a positive duration gives a
rest: rests can be thus equivalently (and independently)
assigned via empty lllls for pitches or negative
durations.
- bach.constraints maxtime attribute now defaults to 60000 ms
- bach.perm Now the first permutation in the output llll is the input
llll
"order" attribute has been suppressed; the only optional
argument is now maxcount.
- bach.group If a list with more than one element is provided as

an argument, it is considered as a single count attribute (for the new "multigroup"
mode).
Therefore, the overlap attribute can't be set as an
argument anymore: to set it from the object box, the @ attribute syntax should be
used.
- bach.find By default, if a lambda loop is not present, sequences

deeper than the target llll are not considered matches.
This can be changed via the new "depthpolicy"
attribute.
- bach.subs Multiple-element syntax (which never really worked) is no

longer supported - please use the new "multi" attribute instead.
- bach.insert Multiple-element syntax (which never really worked)
is no longer supported - please use the new "multi" attribute instead.
- bach.random, bach.urn, bach.wrandom, bach.wurn

Now output addresses are wrapped in levels of parentheses,
as for bach.find
- bach.unpacknote Now when no slots/breakpoints/graphics are found, "null" is

output, and NOT "()", as for the articulations
Yet, a "nullmode" attribute now exists, handilng the case
when no non-trivial breakpoints are given.
when it is 0 (default), it outputs the default
breakpoints instead of "null"; when it is 1, it output "null"
- bach.cartesianprod Now only works at the root level (and therefore the
maxdepth attribute doesn't exist anymore)
- bach.mapelem "spikemode" attribute no longer supported
*** CHANGES OF INTERFACE ACTIONS ***
- bach.roll Now Cmd+V pastes the content at the MOUSE position, and
Cmd+Shift+V paste the content in the ORIGINAL position
- bach.roll, bach.score When the slot window is open, Cmd+doubleclick will

delete the slot content ONLY if it's done in the upper part of the slot window
(e.g. over the slot name).
- bach.args lllls received before the object goes into "open" state are
discarded. Anyway, this should never happen if bach.args is used orthodoxly.

v0.7b
*****************
*** IMPORTANT ***
*****************
- bach.ezmidiplay Outlets have been changed
- bach.roll, bach.score bach.slot2filtergraph for dynfilter slots does NOT

EXIST ANY MORE: use bach.slot2filtercoeff instead! (see help)
"redrawwhileplaying" attribute does NOT exist any more, it
has been replaced by "playstep" and "highlightplay"
rhythm handling has changed, see the new "rhythm" tab in
the inspector.
Velocity minimum is now 1, and no more 0.
A "play" llll through the playout is sent as notification
when a play starts (symmetrically with the "stop" message sent when a play ends)
Beware: voicenames and stafflines might have changed, so
you might have to check again your older patches
"Play Partial Notes" is now on by default
Markers are now by default output at playtime
- bach.roll Now if you don't define all onsets, the last one is
repeated (so you can enter (0 1000) to have (0 1000 2000 3000�))
If you don't define any onset, new onsets by default are
1000 ms wide
If you don't define any duration, new durations by default
are 500 ms
- bach.print, bach.post name attribute doesn't exist anymore. name can only
be set as an argument
- bach.beatbox Outlets have radically changed! Now by default you

just have a single output to be linked to bach.score. You can still have the old
beatboxing of each separate parameter by setting an
argument "separate" when you create the [bach.beatbox] (see helpfile)
Be sure to review all your patches containing
bach.beatbox!!!
- bach.beatunbox Inlets & Outlets have radically changed! Now by default you
just have a single input to be linked to bach.score's dump, and you also have a
Measureinfo outlet (for symmetry with bach.beatbox).
You can still have the old
beatunboxing of each separate parameter by setting an
argument "separate" when you create the [bach.beatunbox] (see helpfile)
bach.beatunbox!!!
- bach.quantize inlets and outlets have radically changed! Now all

you need to do is, by default, to link the only outlet to bach.score,
give measureinfo in the left inlet, and the message
coming from roll in the middle inlet. You can still have the old
quantization of each separate parameter by setting an
argument "separate" when you create the [bach.quantize] (see helpfile)
bach.quantize!!!
now is able to deal with grace notes: small events can
indeed be properly turned into grace notes.
A few attributes help in handling the particular cases
(they are already set to a default behaviour).
BEWARE: Now turning small events into grace notes is the
DEFAULT behaviour of bach.quantize. Which means, if you want a different
behaviour, you have to change the smalleventshandling
attribute "by hand".
default quantization priority has changed from "Linear" to
"Notes First (Decreasing)"
- bach.collect collections are counted from 1

"wrap" attribute is not supported anymore - use "inwrap"
instead

bach.eig, bach.gausselim, bach.extractbasis, bach.beatbox
attributes are NO MORE automatically saved with patcher!
- bach.args new "done" attribute (default 0, which might break

backwards compatibility)
- bach.find now lllls output from the lambda outlet have always the
size defined by the "size" attribute
- bach.filter now r and rat also select integers, and R and Rat
only select rationals
*** THESE CHANGES MODIFY SOME PREVIOUSLY DEFINED INTERFACE COMMANDS ***
- bach.roll, bach.score To change enharmonicity of a note, the command is no

more Cmd+G but becomes Cmd+Shift+R
The Solo/Unsolo command now is Cmd+J (mac) or Ctrl+J (win).
The Cmd+I/Ctrl+I is reserved for opening the inspector
- bach.score The merging command is now Cmd+Y (mac) or Ctrl+Y

(win), and no more J.
*** THESE CHANGES MODIFY SOME BEHAVIORS OF THE PRIVATE 0.6.99 PRERELEASE ***
- bach.urn A middle inlet has been added, outputting elements

address(es)
***********************

stretch the selection
now the number of voices is an explicit attribute:
"numvoices"
now GGFF GFF GGF and GF clefs are correctly understood and
parsed
now also lower case clefs are correctly understood and
parsed, such as gf g ggff or even gfF FfG...

router, instead of their number
files in slot of type filelists are no more deleted if they
are not located. They are just marked with a line over their name.
brand new inspector, with bach-styled attributes for each
notation item. Use "i" (or Shift + Return) to pop it out and close it,
while selecting a notation item. This also works for
the slotinfo definitions: open a slot and then press i to pop out the inspector
brand new undo system, printing undo steps in the max
window (can be turned off in the inspector)
corrected tons of bugs and small fixes (both graphical and
substantial)
slot colors are user-definable (use slotinfo inspector to
handle them correctly)

---------------------------------------
v0.6.3a
*****************
*** IMPORTANT ***
*****************
- bach.collect new "autoclear" attribute (defaults to 1)
- bach.args backtick attribute now defaults to 0
***********************
***********************

---------------------------------------
v0.6.2a
*****************
*** IMPORTANT ***
*****************
- most objects backticking of potential attributes in text-mode

lllls is updated to include all the current release's attributes
- bach collect a single typed-in argument is now considered number

of collectors (no longer nullmode)
- bach.args new backtick attribute (default: 1)
- bach.collect old "wrap" attribute is called "inwrap"!!
- bach.roll, bach.score, bach.tree, bach.graph

the "savedatawithpatcher" attribute has been renamed to
"embed" (default 1)
- bach.roll playmode is now by default notewise (as for bach.score)
- bach.roll, bach.score retranscribe and retranscribeselection messages have

changed behaviour!!!
Now they behave like "clearselectiongraphics", which
in turn does not exist any more - i.e.,
they automatically set a standard accidental
representation for the note.
If you want to preserve their ancient behaviour, i.e.
to snap pitch to microtonal grid,
consider using the new "snapallpitchestogrid" and
"snappitchtogrid" messages.
no keys are assigned to slots by default, except for the
number keys 1, 2, 3,�
if you need to assign 'a' to slot 1 or similar
combinations, please do it explicitely by sending (slotinfo (1 (key a)))
now last element of gathered syntax for each voice is a
flag (exactly like the note/chord/measure flag)
take it into account when cycling over chords in
gathered syntax: a [bach.filter l] can help you.
now interpolation for spat-slots (4th parameter of each
spat-point) is defined by the ENDING point of the segment (as for slope)
new senddoneatstartup and senddoneafterpaint attributes
have been added (both by default 1):
now objects send (by default) the "Done" llll also at
startup (if some data was saved in the object)
and by default they do this not after the object is
rebuild, but after the object is repainted (thus a bit later!)
you can change those functionalities via these
attributes
- bach.score spacing algorithms have changed.
***********************************
*** IMPORTANT INTERFACE CHANGES ***
***********************************
*** THESE CHANGES WON'T BREAK COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER PATCHES, BUT WILL CHANGE THE
WAY TO INTERACT WITH GRAPHICAL OBJECTS ***

across different rolls).
Select chords, press Cmd+C, then Cmd+V to paste in the same
place, or Cmd+Shift+V to paste at mouse position

[bach.sliceheader] abstraction exists instead.
- bach.post if one argument is supplied, it is considered name (no

longer maxdepth)
- bach.slot2line, bach.slot2curve
added 3rd inlet for setting default argument, so lambda
inlet is now number 4!
- bach.ezmidiplay
now is capable to deal with microtonality. To accomplish
that, the "message to noteout" inlet (which used to be the 2nd)
has been shifted to the third place. Please verify your
patches, should you have used that inlet.
Second inlet (or argument) is now for microtonal grid; an
outlet has been added to deal with the number of free channels.
***********************
***********************
- bach.tree new external
- bach.sliceheader, bach.matrixctrl2m, bach.dl2line, bach.dl2curve, bach.defer,

measure/points in measure) starting from pixel positions
number of possible voices has been increased to 35
fixed bug causing wrong interface behaviour with
floatmatrix and intmatrix slots
bach no longer crashes is a score with more than the
possible number of voices is input
slots now have width defined in the slotinfo; by default
function or spat slots have temporal width
(i.e. their slotwindows follow the duration lines),
all the others have fixed widths.
You can obviously change them by defining your custom
slotinfo, e.g. (slotinfo (1 (width 30))) or (slotinfo (5 (width temporal)))
new attribute: showledgerlinesforauxstaves, by default 0
(different from what happened up to 0.6!!!), to handle the painting
of ledger lines between the auxiliary staves and the
main staves
range changes in slots no longer give problems to existing
data (existing data is clipped if needed)
ruler, grids and labels are now at your disposition. See [p
ruler&grid] in the help files.
- bach.score fixed bug causing wrong cursor output

now keys are output when "score2roll" message is sent
fixed bug concerning partial note play

"numgridsubdivisions", "rulercolor" "gridcolor", "subdivisiongridcolor"
fixed bug causing loss of undo steps when dealing with
breakpoints
- bach.roll fixed bug causing wrong chord gluing upon gluechord command
subroll now dumps also partial notes. put "onset" as first
argument to avoid this
now you can stretch a note without stretching accordingly
its temporal content (breakpoints, slots of type function) by using
- Alt + click and drag the tail
- Alt + left/right arrows if the tail is selected
- select the note and then Ctrl+Alt+left/right arrows
(in these 2 cases Shift works as usual to make
changes faster)
- bach.is, bach.contains added right outlet for symbolic output
- bach.filter now accepts symbolic descriptions of types

- bach.repeat fixed behavior when no argument was set and @out t
was set
- bach.primeform fixed bug causing crashes when "getlist" message was sent
with no arguments
- bach.mod* new nickname for bach.modtimes
- bach.mod+, bach.mod*, bach.mod-

fixed behavior with a single attribute
- bach.perm solved bug causing crashes all the time
- bach.expr now sgn operator works correctly
- bach.sort, bach.msort fixed memory leak
---------------------------------------
v0.6a
***************************
*** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ***
***************************
THINGS THAT WILL BREAK COMPATIBILITY WITH OLD PATCHES:
- most objects:
Since this version, everything that can be counted is counted starting from 1. This
includes elements, inlets, outlets, the base for bach.msort and so on. For example,
if you used to write [bach.nth 0], you'll have to switch to [bach.nth 1] to take
the 1st element of a llll.
This breaks compatibility with:

- bach.nth
- bach.pick
- bach.lookup
- bach.insert
- bach.subs
- bach.append (only as far as the @triggers attribute is concerned)
- bach.nsubs
- bach.ninsert
- bach.submatrix
- bach.getrow
- bach.getcol
And might break compatibility with some objects outputting paths (if you used the
path outlet):
- bach.minmax
- bach.iter
- bach.step
- bach.find
- bach.sort
- bach.msort (base has changed)
Please notice that if you objects in combinations (like bach.find and then
bach.subs) the compatibility should be preserved.
- bach.find, bach.ezfind
bach.ezfind NO LONGER EXISTS: bach.find has one more outlet, and thus makes
the task of both objects:
left outlet is for Found Data, middle outlet is for Found Addresses
Please consider searching in your patches all the occurrences of bach.find
and bach.ezfind in order to re-cable them properly.
- bach.mapelem
"pick" attribute is now called "unwrap" attribute, for compatibility with
[bach.pick]
- bach.flat
new minlevel and maxlevel attributes. maxdepth attribute doesn't exist
anymore (maxlevel replaces its behavior)
*****************
*** IMPORTANT ***
*****************
- new installation procedure for the OSX version. Administrator privileges are
required. It is strongly recommended using the automated installer.
- slotinfo, midichannels and commands are by default no more output upon dump.
You can use the new sendslotinfothrougdump, sendcommandsthroughdump,
sendmidichannelsthroughdump attributes to restore this behavior
- bach.geomser now really provides as a geometric series (starting from a seed,

with a factor, until a certain limit).
Syntax is COMPLETELY changed, so please have a look to your patches which
were using it.
- bach.quantize, bach.beatbox autoclear attribute added, default 1: if you DON'T

want to clear the linked score, please set explicitly @autoclear 0
