It seems that now segments on the same track when opened together in the notation editor are 'enforced' to being layered though? So, for instance, you can't write a pseudo piano part? Or am I missing something?

You probably aren't missing something. You are just better at testing this stuff than me. This is why I wanted some feedback at this point.

I assumed that segments on the same track were always treated as layers. E.g. with rg 20.12 I just created two segments on top of each other on the same track, selected them both, pressed "n" and now I have one staff with two layers. I also tested with 19.12 and I get the same behavior.

What am I missing? What do I have to do differently to get them not merged as layers in the previous versions?

I also sometimes stack segments on tracks for writing voices etc. independently and then (possibly) merging them.

With the latest SVN it seems that if I add two segments to the same track (stacked in the segment view) if I open them in the notation editor they are merged as layers?

Again, I'm seeing this in 20.12 and 19.12 also. I'm guessing I'm doing the wrong thing? What is your procedure?

There seems to be a glitch where a second layer is mis-aligned in the first bar and you can't input notes beyond the first bar with the mouse, as if vertical alignment gets somehow broken. (QWERTY keyboard input seems OK). For some reason this (half notes).

Confirmed this one. I can't add notes beyond bar one either. If I restart the notation editor, I can add notes on both layers beyond bar 1. Might be somehow related to the initial rests.

- Notation > Segment > New Layer from Selection  (Magic Layer)
- Notation > Segment > Add Layer
- Copy/Paste Events in the editors

Hasn't this always been there? Or... What does it mean?

It means changes have been made in these areas and they need to be re-tested as they might now be broken.

- Ornaments (not sure how to use this myself)

How does this work? There are entries in the Note menu but it's unclear how they work and how they should be tested, also how do they relate to adding ornament symbols from the palette?

I have no idea. I played with it a bit and sort of got it to do something. I was hoping someone out there knew this feature well and could run it through its paces.

- Segment Resize From Start

What does this mean?

Again, internal code changes touched this area. Please re-test (regression test) this feature if you are familiar with it.

- Segment Transpose
- Undo/redo of above.
- Commands in general.

What does this mean?

  Please regression test.

- Undo/Redo of commands in general.

Sorry if I missed something but it doesn't seem the linked github page explains what the new features are, how they change previous behaviour and how to test them...

You didn't miss anything. Internal changes were made that touched a number of areas and those need regression testing. This is just a list of the areas that need re-testing.

Philip is going to work on more detailed testing information for future commits.

Ted.
