• Added: Forced accidentals supported in notation.
• Added: Shift-click extends the highlighted area in the Chords Window.

• Fixed: Access violation on startup, that sometimes occurred when loading a MIDI file.
• Fixed: If track disclosure panel was present before loading a new song, it would show up as a gray rectangle after new song was loaded.
• Fixed: Tracks messed up if creating RealDrums track over a RealTrack track by mistake, and then Undoing and then Redoing.
