Updates and changes:

             April 28, 2025
Composition Draftworks version 1-08
                      track_dynamic_shaping_works module was missing the tables needed to change shaping types.  The are now included.
                          Fixed module label font color for p modify_redundant_iterations so that it matches all the others.

                  Added new module:
                     track_add_CC_expression_shaping
                         This process enables independent and time-varying continuous controller (CC 1 - modulation, CC7 - volume, CC8 - timbral variation, and CC11 - expression)
                         data merged into each track. This can add realism to sustained note events, which can otherwise be unnaturally static. Shaping is determined from menu
                         options and the selected pattern recurs after a minimum pause duration (rest) in each track. Scaling, variation, and offsets can also be adjusted.

            March 19, 2025   Updated and added files

                    Revised Harp utilities patches
                        Modified Harp pedaling assistant Max8.maxpat to use simpler modulo object for PC analysis [%]

                    Added new patch - Split chromatic harp between two tuned harps Max8.maxpat

           Dec 23, 2024   Updated files

                   Supporting_materials.zip
                        Added Volker Böhm 64-bit sigmund~ object version to Mac externals in WK Library.

            May 14, 2024   Updated files

8-channel_spectral_panning.zip
                        Revised fft-based spectral filtering and panning rotation subpatches.

            May 26, 2023   Updated files

Composition Draftworks version 1-07
Revised the supporting_materials files to clean up the funbuf_sets files and added quant_funbuf_sets folder.
                        Added new modules:
                            lift_before_restrike - that sends note-off messages before note-on messages for that specific MIDI note number.  This was developed to assist
                            in the sustained piano tone textures created for Spirio Variations.

                            quantize_rhythm - MIDI sequence player using the detonate object (no MIDI metadata supported) for quantizing rhythm. Output is
                            sent to the "Input_Seq_out" routing so it can be used in the other processes through the patch bay. Large sequences can take some
                            time to load and clear. Some skewing and elongation of original synchronization of events may occur.

            April 7, 2023    Updated files
Revised the supporting_materials files to fix duplicates of some files between various folders.

            March 9, 2023    Updated files
now a time without  Steinway Spirio interactive software version
                           Added this to the list of performance software compositions.

            December 23, 2022    Updated files
Composition Draftworks version 1-05
Removed sequence_telescoping module from the in and out matrix menus since it does not receive input from other modules.
                           Revised the supporting_materials files to fix and clarify installation for Windows and Macintosh OS.

            December 3, 2022    Updated files
Composition Draftworks version 1-04
Added sequence_telescoping module
                            This process enables the user to telescope up to three MIDI sequences or three instances of the same sequence to compress
                            the timing with forward jumps in the original sequences or expand by overlapping segment endings and beginnings. The
                            overlapping seq objects can play the same file and compress and expand the combination by identifying segment lengths and
                            overlapping the next segment start with the currently playing segment (or space them out with rest for expansion).
                        Typos corrected in the Brief Explanation of Patch Elements.

September 1, 2022     Updated files
Composition Draftworks version 1-02
                Added option for skipping notes following too-large linear interval leaps in the limit_linear_intervals module.
                Replaced calc_interval_skip for calc_interval subpatch
                Replaced limited_linear_intervals_skip for limited_linear_intervals subpatch

July 2, 2022    Updated files
Fixed missing files for HO2_C6H3_CHOH_CH2NHCH3 (Adrenaline) and Inner_Nature_Persistently_Emerges in the zip-compressed collection
                for all performance software.
           Fixed an issue that caused crashing in the (Prepared)_Perpendicular_Times_(Experience) patch. Also added the modification to the zip-compressed
                collection for all performance software.

May 3, 2022    Updated files
           Revised Composition Draftworks - version 1.01
           Fixed an issue with the main patch for Composition Draftworks not finding some of the sub-patches when launching. It's been addressed and I've
                 re-uploaded the project .zip file. I replaced the"1.0.maxpat" with "1-0.maxpat" in the folder name, removed the • character from the patch name,
                 relaunched and re-saved the patch and it seems fine now. Other than that, I don't know why it would have suddenly lost track of sub-patches in the
                 project folder.
