playback,
  insert special barline, goto measure),
  - few dialog improvements (insert clef or barline, page layout),
  - new dialog: Insert special barline.
  - remember the last position of action (useful when deleting the whole
block
  of the score),

  - added vertical line which connects all staves

P.S.: LAA writing does not work for me, though I'm subscribed there with
this account. Don't understand why, tried twice, never got any answer
except the usual waits for moderator approval... (First try on Saturday
evening, next on Monday evening).
