What's New in The Whole Horn

1.4.1

August 25, 2026

Fixes the starting octave on guitar, bass and oud. On seven-string and eight-string guitar, classical, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, and Arabic oud, a scale could begin an octave above where it should — starting mid-instrument instead of at the bottom of the playable range. It now starts where the instrument starts. Wind and brass are unchanged. On those instruments, beginning a low scale on the central tonic rather than the lowest note is deliberate — the bottom register is the hardest place to start — and that behaviour is exactly as it was.
