• HW to GO : converting the tremmed samples in the way they are defined in Piotr Grabowski sample sets (placed in second pipes layers and not in alternate ranks as done by Sonus Paradisi)

OdfEdit source files can be installed with pip (see pypi.org/project/OdfEdit)

v2.12

• HW2GO : added the conversion of HW Combination into GO General/Divisional and master capture (SET) and general cancel (GC)
