Original release notes

Transcription

Music Sheet

• Improved automatic sheet generation from MIDI and transcribed audio using the new system framework. †
• Measures are now detected automatically, so you no longer need to assign bars manually. †
• Connect your device to a digital piano and let the sheet follow your playing, automatically scrolling as you perform.
• Improved Apple Pencil annotations for smoother, more responsive drawing.
• Added more sheet editing actions, including an option to remove all empty measures.
• Notes can now display letter names or solfège names in addition to numbers.
• Improved note appearance and engraving.
• Improved rendering performance for smoother scrolling, zooming, and panning, especially on long sheets.
• Improved the audio engine to significantly reduce playback lag.

• Improved keyboard shortcuts and context menu action names.
• Tapping the status bar no longer scrolls the music sheet to the top.

Playback and audio

• Fixed an issue where rendered MIDI audio could occasionally contain audible gaps.
• The Play button now changes state only when you explicitly start playback, and remains unchanged while playing a selection.

Files

• Engraving files are now automatically saved after edits.
• Engraving files are now saved atomically for improved reliability.
• Files are no longer unnecessarily saved when nothing has changed.
• Added file actions for moving, sharing, and exporting engraving files.
