What's New in this Version of MUSIC
There have been several functional and visual changes to MUSIC version 6.0. The largest is the introduction of MUSIC-link, which streamlines the process of assessing the compliance of water sensitive designs submitted by the development sector against guidelines from a specific assessing authority. Other significant changes are summarised below:
Version 6.3 beta (Build 1)
- Runs at a 5 minute time step
- Custom storage relationship fixed
- Command line should now work for all projects
- Improved validation messages
- Fixed Import/Export Errors for some MSF files
- Updated the GPT User interface
Version 6.2 (Build 1)
Landuse Zoning / Surface Type categories within the Urban Source Node – these will allow for a better “split catchment modelling approach”. The new categories have guided default EMC/DWC values (see: Editing Source Node Properties).

- MUSIC-link
- The ability to import time-series flow files on source nodes;
- The ability to specify an initial volume for all storage nodes. Prior to this addition, the assumption was that the storage was full at the beginning of the model run;
- The ability to include a maximum draw down limit for all storage nodes with stormwater harvesting options;
- The ability to estimate the surface area for a sedimentation basin, and the inlet volume for wetland nodes;
- The ability to add multiple rainwater tanks (with the same properties) in a model;
- The inclusion of flow-based capture efficiency for the Gross Pollutant Trap and Generic node, allowing for improved handling of pollutants;
- Improvements in the re-use functionality for all treatment nodes with storage;
- Additional properties in the Vegetated Swale node, including Swale Capacity, providing a more clear indication of the results of changing parameters;
- The inclusion of a time-step timestamp in flux files, along with other file format changes to improve usage. Additionally, these files are now saved in the .csv format by default;
- Enhancements in command line functionality; and
- Several bug fixes, including zooming issues and font displays on some computers.
Version 5.1 (Build 16)
MUSIC Version 5.1 includes a number of significant new features and enhancements, which are summarised below. Users are referred to the specified chapter below for further information:
- Fix incorporated to ensure "Load" Y-axis label is always correctly updated when "Load" radio button is selected in Advanced Charting window; and
- Fix incorporated to ensure that correct project window is selected/highlighted when trying to re-open a currently open project.
