Ultimate Piper

Ultimate Piper 3.2.0 — a score for every piper ACCESSIBILITY This release is about pipers who read the score with VoiceOver, a keyboard or less motion. Every note in the editor can now be reached, read and changed with VoiceOver, and so can the embellishment wheel, the bar menu and the duration buttons, with no gesture needed. Tunes and folders offer their own actions in the rotor. Playback tells you which bar it is on and lets you choose where it starts. Choose Bars sits beside "Tap a bar to select it". Icons that VoiceOver used to read by their symbol name now have real names, dialogs say what they are asking, and score imports report how they are getting on. On the Mac, buttons the keyboard used to skip can now be reached. Reduce Motion is honoured, and captions have been darkened to pass a contrast check. SCORE SIZE WITHOUT A PINCH The Share and View menu, under the circled ⋯ button, has Score Size rows beside Standard and Continuous, so the score can be made bigger or smaller with a tap, and VoiceOver can read the size. SCROLL AND PINCH, PROPERLY Every score view, including the editor, now scrolls in both directions and pinches smoothly, keeping your place as it zooms. On the Mac, a pinch grows around the pointer. A pinch in the Practice Loop stays inside the loop. Swipe-to-delete in the editor has been retired, because it fought the scroll. THE WATCH The Watch tuner prints the cents beside the needle, and stops without a long press. PLAYBACK KEEPS PLAYING Close a tune and it carries on playing in a small now-playing bar. Opening another tune, the tuner or the microphone stops it. FOLLOW ALONG Playback and Follow Along each get their own instrument in Settings. A colour legend explains what the note colours mean for your input, and new tips show you around the first time. ENGRAVING Sixteenth dance metres are beamed the way the books print them. A changed time signature gets room of its own, and a volta can run over it. The Practice Loop fits its first bar, and a custom time signature stays on the page at the foot of a tune. THE MAC The daily practice reminder has come to the Mac, and the Mac and iOS Settings now match. FIXED Restore Purchases no longer asks for a password first, and the subscription screen says when your plan ends. A PDF made on the iPhone is no longer cramped. The scanner reads pages that have a printed banner down one side.
