Interpretation has changed. If something sounds unexpected, please check Interpretation settings. It's mostly the "Limit Strictly" range setting. When you edit Interpretation, it will be updated to the current version (we went to great lengths to preserve old settings but it's not 100% waterproof). You can also do File >> Convert >> Migrate To Current Renderer. Changes affect Auto-Chords, Relative symbols and range handling. You may need to choose a different chord inversion for a Relative segment (automatic inversion changed).

Harmony: Macros for creating polytonality layers (e.g. pentatonic minor melody)
Stupid question, but what is a macro in Synfire? Thanks!

A script that builds something a user could also build manually

Ah, I see, thanks. Can users perhaps also define their own macros? I could not find anything in the documentation on the term macro...

Macros are only used internally for now

Thanks for the response, that makes all sense.
