We recommend that all users upgrade to version 8.

Most notably, it is much faster to start up. Our measurements show a
124% speedup on an XO-1.5 and an 88% improvement on an XO-1.

Audio reliability problems have also been addressed.

This version also features the ability to play notes via the keyboard.
For best results, activate the metronome mode while playing a score,
then use the keyboard to add notes to the score in real time.
