What's New in Trombone Trainer
1.7.0
September 11, 2026
New — a feedback lane above the staff. As you play, every note lands as a mark: green or red for right or wrong, above or below the centre line for early or late. The faster the tempo, the tighter the lane gets — so you can see your timing, not just your score. Press stop and the lane becomes your tempo history: how accurately you've played this exercise at every tempo you've tried, so you can see where you're ready to push and where you're not. Also new — print your own slide position chart. Settings exports every note, its name and its positions — including any alternates you've set — as a PDF to share or print. A clean run now has to be in time as well as correct. In learner mode, the bar's chord sounds as its first note lights up.
