What's New in RhythmForge
1.9.0
November 3, 2026
Learn a pattern first. • Learn: under every challenge's pattern, a Learn button plays the challenge with no score. Where the click doesn't cover your notes, Assist plays them from the first bar until you're in, and a line under the progress shows whether you're rushing or dragging. Once you've played enough bars in time in a row, Learn tells you how they went and where your best stands, and Start challenge is right there. Learn is free on every challenge, costs no Energy and saves nothing. • Sticking: the rudiments show which hand plays each note, R and L under the notation and under the timeline as you play. • Small fixes and improvements.
