The following improvements have been added in AMP Version 2.1:
--------------------------------------------------------------
* Improved Note Editing (with the mouse):
        - Double-click on any note in any voice column brings a copy
          of that note down to the Data Entry Line where it can be
          edited.
        - Click on any note in any voice column will:
                1) Highlight the voice column containing that note
                2) Bring that voice's cursor to that note


Import Support:
---------------
AMP 2.1 can read in the following file formats:

1) The Antic Music Processor
     Notes: Tempo in the Antic Music Processor is relative, that 
	    is 35=Slow and 390=Fast.  There is no correlation 
	    between these numbers and beats per minute.  Therefore,
	    when importing an Antic Music Processor file, the tempo
	    might have to be tweaked a little for proper playback
	    speed.

2) Advanced Music System I/II
     Notes: Imports all files with no problems.

3) MIDI Music System
     Notes: Imports all files with no problems.

4) Standard MIDI File (Format 0 or 1)
     Notes: AMP imports most SMF files with no problem.  However, 
            some complicated multi-track sequences might lose some 
            notes when imported into AMP.  In this case, the tracks
	    must be simplified.  EditTrack's "Unmix" feature works
	    great for this.

Addenum
-------
Just a warning when using screen savers with AMP - some of them 
decide to black out and save the screen while AMP is in the middle
of playing a song.  For this reason, you might wish to turn your
screen saver off while using AMP.
