## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.4 — 2026-08-26

Song library
- Search now understands common alternate titles, so more pieces turn up
- Search waits until you finish typing instead of firing on every keystroke
- When nothing matches, a dedicated screen offers to import your own MIDI file instead

Harmonica
- Corrected the slide-blow note on the top hole of the 10-hole chromatic, reported by a player
- The key selector now shows the actual octave, for example Low C (C3) and C (C4)

Notation
- Cleaner rests and dotted notes in simple meters
- Fixes to ties in numbered (Jianpu) notation

### 1.9.3 — 2026-07-30

Score & notation
- Pickup (anacrusis) bars now align correctly for pieces that start mid-measure, with fill-up or faithful display modes
- More accurate notation: triplets, compound meters (6/8), time-signature changes, dotted notes, rests, ties and slurs
- Time-signature changes are marked inline, and the meter shown top-right follows the bar being played
- Staccato passages now show their true written length instead of very short values
- Optional natural sign display
- Smoother rendering when switching songs

Practice
- Count-in: a full preparatory bar before follow-along starts, replacing the countdown — with a quick toggle on the score
- Scale practice adds Chromatic: every semitone across the full range
- Tuner Learn mode shows the note name, Jianpu number and a mini staff together, with colour indicating how far off pitch you are
- Metronome supports more time signatures, such as 6/4

Harmonicas & tuning
- Custom tunings now cover chromatic and tremolo harmonicas, not just diatonic - build any layout hole by hole and save it as a preset
- Chromatic harmonica: new accidental style setting (all sharps, all flats, or follow the key signature), so you can tell at a glance when to press the slide
- Corrected slide-key pitches for solo and C6 tunings

Song library
- New categories - Exercises, Jazz and Rock - plus an Other catch-all
- More songs added, including classical pieces and chromatic exercises

Also
- Open MIDI files directly: use "Open with" or Share a .mid from any app to load and play it
- Fixed the edit key/position dialog not appearing in landscape
- Help centre updated to cover the new features
- Various stability and performance fixes

### 1.8.4 — 2026-06-25

- Playback volume — set how loud song/MIDI playback is, right from the settings.
- Stepless tempo — drag the new speed slider to any pace (0.25×–4×), with a satisfying snap back to 1×. Great for slowing tricky passages down, then building speed.
- Better on iPad — larger, easier-to-reach controls and text.
- Swipe from the left edge of the screen to go back.
- New option to turn the tap-to-hear note sound on or off.
- Plus polish and refinements throughout.

### 1.8.3 — 2026-06-23

New monthly and yearly Premium options.
Better iPad experience — larger text and a layout that fills the screen.
Fix some minor bugs.

### 1.8.2 — 2026-06-17

- New Discover feed — harmonica tips and learning articles
  - New online song library to find and practice more pieces
  - Added chromatic and tremolo harmonica support
