This is the first Sibmei release supporting MEI 4. We skipped version number 3 to get Sibmei major versions in sync with the supported MEI version. As some projects have developed tools that build upon the old MEI 3 export, Sibmei 4 is designed to be installable side by side with Sibmei 2. Make sure you choose the right Sibmei plugin version when exporting (all Sibmei 4 export variants have "MEI 4" in the name).

Besides the MEI 4 support, the most significant addition is an extension system for exporting custom symbols and text styles. This gives projects some means of modifying the export behavior without having to maintain a Sibmei fork.

Some other enhancements in this release:

  • Much improved handling of text formatting
  • Various attributes added
  • Support lyrics on chords
  • Support staffDef/labelAbbr
  • Add instrument transposition in <staffDef>
  • Export of some additional articulation symbols
  • Export of shown bar numbers as measure/@label

Some of the bug fixes in this release:

  • Clef changes under beams and tuplets
  • Grace notes at the beginning of tuplets
  • Handling of elisions

Much of this release was sponsored by Max Weber Stiftung. Most of the work was done by Anna Plaksin and Thomas Weber with some contributions by Andrew Hankinson and Klaus Rettinghaus. Mark Saccomano joined the list of contributors.
