* Add import and sample-rate conversion helper for arbitrary audio file types.
* Add helpful context help to status bar in track and matrix editors.
* Various improvements to the usability and friendliness of the matrix editor: do a better job of remembering settings, make the snap-to-grid behaviour more intuitive and pleasing, make better use of cursor changes, add quick-copy by dragging with Ctrl pressed, fix several bugs.
* Add tempo tapping to tempo dialog.
* Further fixes and enhancements to Lilypond export.
* New Invert, Retrograde, Retrograde Invert editing functions.
* Make transport window remember its previous location.
* More helpful warning dialogs on startup if something fails to start properly.
* Change build system from scons to cmake.
