Strange. Did you assign any note to the beatlines? (right click on keyboard 
icon when beatline is locked). 

I use the cvs as a backup, so maybe you just picked up a bad version?
I 'll try to make some new commits this evening..

When kde passes to qt4, give me 2-3 more weeks :)

I have planned to port someday to osx, so I have used only portable libs. 
Windows port should be feasible, once passed the minor licensing problems 
with qt (or waiting to qt4 in kde)

I however don't plan to port to windows myself, but will gladly provide all 
the necessary assistance to whoever wants to do this..

Of course, try to provide the debug stack trace!
