New version 9.0
Old version 8.6.2
Release Notes This is a big one! Highlights include set-theoretic information, interval content displays, collapsible information pages, better chord pad editing, and improved guitar charts General: + App-wide UI improvements + Option to use compact-height chord and scale displays (turn on compact tables in settings). This is especially useful to view many results at a time in the AUv3 version + Improved accidental handling: no more duplicate enharmonic results + Ability to set a “disambiguation accidental” which is used if the correct display accidental cannot be determined from context. The current setting is displayed as [b] or [#] at the top of the chord/scale tabs + Ability to switch display to the enharmonic equivalent on chord and scale info pages + Ability to view musical set theory information (Forte number, prime form, interval vector). This must be turned on in settings + Tap a pitch (e.g. D) at the top of the chord/scale tab multiple times to quickly cycle through accidentals (e.g. Db, D, D#) + Collapsible information sections for chords and scales + Ability to show interval content for each chord or scale. Tap to change between semitones, intervals, and whole/half Chord Pads: + Improved voicing editor + Added setting for MIDI thru + Behind-the-scenes changes to make MIDI triggering and quick-assign snappier than ever (and reduce CPU usage) + Chord pads will snap their accidentals to the currently selected key when transposing + Pad editing popups can be dismissed by tapping outside + Faster loading of large chord pad sets + Velocity pad responds to single taps in addition to dragging - Stopped circle of fifths from playing factory piano sound when selecting a preset - Prevent creation of scale chord sets with theoretical keys - Fixed bug with MIDI trigger lights and performance mode Guitar: + Added DADGCD, Eb Standard, C Standard, All-Fifths, Cello, and Cavaquinho tunings + Improve usability of fretboard searcher + Improve default chord charts + Improve algorithm for hiding equivalent voicings + Option to turn off red skipped strings - Fixed minor bug where cached guitar voicings could display with the wrong accidental Scales: + Reverse search using a fretboard! + Option to show only parent modes + Moved sevenths/triads setting into scale chords area Chords: - Removed M(add13) and m(add13) chords (they are redundant since they are equivalent to 6th chords) Circle of Fifths: + Improve VoiceOver accessibility for circle of fifths on iPad + Tonality can now handle key signatures all the way through double and triple sharps. If all goes well this has absolutely no impact on the user, but hey it’s nice to say that it can Grand Staff: + Improve chord identification
