June 30, 2026
This major update expands composition, notation, playback, printing, and file management. Printing and PDF • Print compositions or export them to PDF with paper-size and format controls. • Include lyrics, title headers, page numbers, measure barlines, and time signatures. • Improved print spacing, scale, lyric sizing, Arabic tatweel rendering, full-bleed output, and multi-page reliability. • Reset now restores all print defaults, and typed values are applied immediately. Notation and Rhythm • Added the extended Petasti family, including Petasti Ipsili, Isson, Kendima, Oligon, Plus 5, and additional high-interval neumes. • Added Eteron, Omalon, Antikenoma, Psifiston, Varia, the Siopi beat extender, half-ifesis, third-ifesis, half-diesis, hard-chromatic Ni keys, and more key signatures. • Added time signatures, automatic measure barlines, and per-measure beat overrides. • Added configurable expression for Petasti, Varia, Omalon, and Psifiston. Playback and Free Access • Added per-composition playback transpose and separate playback volume controls. • Free users can save up to 3 compositions. • Free playback covers up to 3 distinct compositions per rolling 24-hour period, with 60 seconds for each composition. • Preview usage persists across app restarts, and returning to a composition continues its remaining time. • Subscribers continue to receive unlimited saving and playback. • Improved Android background playback, iOS Control Center state, accidentals, gorgon/Stavros anchoring, and selection playback. Editing and Inspection • Added a Note Inspector showing mode, pitch, channel, applied rules, and moria distance. • Added selection details, edge indicators, and looped selection playback. • Accidentals and fthoras can now target individual notes within composite neumes. • Added an interactive fthora mode picker with Greek mode names, including fthoras attached to key signatures. • Added one-tap replacement for out-of-mode key signatures while preserving attached fthoras and markers. • Improved fthora rendering, positioning, hit areas, deletion, anchoring, and mode resolution. Keyboard and Layout • Redesigned the musical keyboard with customizable palettes, a More Notes tab, landscape side-keyboard layout, collapsible key columns, and long-press flyouts. • Improved alignment across neumes, ornaments, accidentals, fthoras, and key signatures. • Added expanded alignment controls with dropdowns and sliders. • iPad now uses the full tablet display instead of an iPhone-sized compatibility view. Library, Search, and Settings • Added glyph-sequence library search and in-document Find. • Added export search, improved folder sorting, and newest-modified ordering. • Added compressed settings backup, export, import, and restore. • Added in-app feedback and composition issue reporting. • Updated tutorials for the redesigned composer, keyboard, measures, and expression controls. Corrections and Reliability • Refined Modes 4, 5, and 6, including pentaphone, short-scale, per-octave, and variable-length scale behavior. • Fixed Arabic lyric connectors and wrapping, Android text and modifier clipping, and key-signature clipping. • Fixed selection dragging and handles, print blank pages and overlaps, cancelled or stuck printing, and numerous notation alignment issues. • Improved unavailable-billing handling and Restore Purchases behavior. • Fixed hard-chromatic fthora note labels and preview identity after saving or renaming. • Added privacy-preserving diagnostics without collecting composition titles, file names, lyrics, notation, or advertising identifiers.
