What's New in Song Cage
1.8.38
November 11, 2026
Fixed: on iPhone and iPad, a take now plays again and you can tap the waveform to skip. Starting a take stops the one that was playing. Fixed: if the mic sent nothing while you hummed, the app now says what to check. Fixed: pasting a chord chart keeps chords written inside a word, and a line ending on a chord stays a lyric line. Fixed: key-change chords no longer fall past the end of a section. Fixed: importing the same notes twice no longer makes duplicate ideas. New: one Rhymes tab with Perfect, Close and Wide, with words that fit your melody first. New: every word lookup works on your device, offline, with much fuller Spanish. New on iPad: End section here and Split section here, so a section can end partway through a bar.
