             Take Control SHARPSCORE version 3.2
             ===================================

                   RELEASE NOTE - 13.1.94


Updating from v2.2 or earlier
-----------------------------

If you are updating from v2.2 or an earlier version of SharpScore,
please note that there is a new installation program which must
be run FROM THE FLOPPY DISK, DRIVE A. Please see the manual for
details - if you try to install by copying files, as you would have
done with earlier versions, you will fail with version 3.0.


Additional Features of v3.0
---------------------------
Items provided on this release in addition to those published in
the specification sheet for v3.0 include:

- Automated installation process
- Support for colour (medium resolution) monitors
- Support for Atari Falcon / TT high resolution colour display modes
- FONTGDOS, a new version of the Atari GDOS font handling system.
  This gives faster performance for users with hard disk systems.
- Improved MIDI file support, allowing multiple page file for
  sequencers exporting a shortened master track, eg some versions of
  Notator (C-Lab), and Edit Track (Hybrid Arts / Barefoot Software).


Additional Features of v3.2
---------------------------

- Triplet quantisation facilities
- MIDI metronome facility
- Window arrangement facilities (tile & cascade)
- Additional metronome facilities
- Further improvements to MIDI file importation
- Support for SpeedoGDOS
- Support for MultiTOS
- PostScript symbol repertoire implemented in full for new symbols


System requirements
-------------------

Basic requirement is still 1MB memory and floppy disk.

Output of IMG files is now only supported on systems with at least
2MB of memory and a Hard Disk.


PostScript Notes
----------------

PostScript users please note that all new symbols plus graphics 
and imported image files are now supported. Imported GEM metafiles,
however, cannot be printed on PostScript printers (GEM metafiles
are by their nature dependent on GEM printer drivers).


SpeedoGDOS notes
----------------

SharpScore is now compatible with SpeedoGDOS. Please note however,
that the SpeedoGDOS installation assumes that ALL fonts are vector
fonts and that it can change the path for drivers and fonts to what
ever it likes. In short, if you have a GDOS program already installed
which needs to keep its bitmap fonts, you are likely to have problems
with the SpeedoGDOS installation !

SharpScore is now compatible with SpeedoGDOS, but you must install
SpeedoGDOS first. When you have installed SpeedoGDOS, re-install
SharpScore, specifying the Speedo 'drivers' folder for your GDOS
fonts (usually C:\DRIVERS\ ). Also make sure to say NO to the 'Install
GDOS' option during installation. Remember to reset the machine after
installation, and you should find that SharpScore functions with all
the scaleable fonts installed.


Other SpeedoGDOS points:
------------------------

Note that SharpScore needs font ID numbers 2, 14 and 50 for its bitmap
fonts. It is best not to have Speedo fonts installed which use these ID
numbers. If you have a font which 'clashes' with any of the above
numbers, you may notice something wrong with the standard SharpScore 
fonts - eg. Italic numbers in place of the normal time signature figures.
Any Speedo fonts using these ID numbers can be removed using the
'Outline Fonts' desk accessory installed automatically along with
SpeedoGDOS. 

The utility accessory provided with SpeedoGDOS for installing and removing
drivers has a bug. Do not use it or you will corrupt the ASSIGN.SYS file
once more, and you will need to  use the SETUP program as in (2) above
to correct the situation.
