Hi all,

I know I just announced it yesterday, but I've updated some things and
re-released 'microcsound', the swiss-army knife of text-based microtonal
csound explorers and composing tools....thanks to Milan for catching a few
install issues.

changes:
* included a harpsichord soundfont...makes the download quite a bit larger,
but gives you a good tools for making music right away, you would probably
want to fetch it anyway.
* changed the 'install.sh' reference in the README to correctly mean
'install.py'
* fixed the install.py script to reflect the name change of 'examples.txt'
to 'tutorial.txt'
* bugfixed non-octave equal division scale handling. Simplified some clunky
code, made it both correct and elegant.
Can now do 'div=13.636' (non-integer octave divisions) and such (up to three
digits after decimal point) for doing non-octave based scales. For example,
Bohlen-Pierce would be 'div=8.202'

SO....the new package is
http://www.akjmusic.com/packages/microcsound20090709.tgz

and the tutorial is up at
http://www.akjmusic.com/microcsound_tutorial.txt

and the README is at
http://www.akjmusic.com/microcsound_README.txt

Thanks, I hope some of you use this and do some cool things....I'm cooking
up a project myself right now using it; maybe I'll be done in a month or
less...
