Ultimate Piper

Ultimate Piper 4.1.0 — see every note, and what to do about it PROGRESS Every note on the heat map is coloured by how often you missed it across your last five runs: green when never, through yellow and orange to red. A wrong gracenote counts as missed. A legend button in the bottom bar says what the colours mean, in Progress and in Follow Along. A long accuracy chart scrolls sideways, twenty runs at a time; tap a run for its label. PRACTICE INSIGHTS Insights is the second segment of the Practice tab on iPhone, and it opens at once. Four new cards, each ending in something to do. Practice Time adds up every session and run: all time, this year, this month, your best month, per practising day and per week, pipes against chanter, solo against band. Consistency charts the days practised in each of the last six months, your streak, and the day and time you usually practise. Follow Along plots your accuracy across your last thirty runs, names the tune when you tap one, rates your embellishments by family and deals a bar to drill for each, straight into the Practice Loop. Tune Journey reads the levels you give your tunes, how long they stay at each, and offers to promote a tune that has sat a fortnight with its last runs at 90% or better. Time per Tune shows where the last thirty days went and the tune you are learning that had the least. Not now puts a suggestion away. PRACTICE SESSIONS Drag the tunes in a running session into the order you want: Edit on iPhone and iPad, drag on the Mac. A tune dragged among the warm-ups becomes a warm-up. Tick the tune on screen and the next one opens. The summary shows what each tune scored across the session's runs. The perfect-month fireworks wait until the session has ended. FOLLOW ALONG The cursor waits for your first note, so tuning and drones before you start no longer move it. Cut notes heard in passing count. A run of the same note no longer stalls the cursor, and a High A blown sharp is still High A. A run you stop by hand is kept. In the analysis, a gracenote belonging to the note before or after is no longer called wrong on its neighbour, a shake's closing tap is scored where it is played, and a strike that slides through Low A counts. Every past run is judged again, so some scores will change. SHARED TUNES A tune somebody shared with you now works like your own: add it to Focus, to a practice session or to a set, see its folder when you search, and Practice History and Progress keep its name and its runs. FILE EXPORT Exporting a tune as a PipeScore or Piper file, and Export All Tunes, now need Premium, alongside PDF Export. Opening files, backups and audio export stay free. MAC Opening a tune or drill from Insights puts an Insights button in the toolbar that goes back to where you left it. History has the same button. ALSO A dotted note's dot clears the next note's gracenote in a tight bar. A triplet from an older file whose three notes were each written as long as the whole triplet now reads and plays correctly.
