parent: 16c6ce7b7f1d8fc8e7a06f5e34510f129f209c68
author: Olav Sørensen <[email protected]>
date: Thu Nov 19 16:10:48 EST 2020

Pushed v1.41 code

- Code refactoring and code cleanup
- Fixed minor BPM duration issues when rendering song to WAV
- Fixed some mouse problems in fullscreen mode on multi-monitor setups
- Bugfix: Properly change pattern length after loading .xp pattern files (FT2 doesn't do this, but I think this makes sense!)
