Bug Fixes

What’s New
- Changing applied viio seventh chords to fully diminished from half-diminished.

Bug Fixes

- Fixing Piano instrument so that it once again:
- Shows notes during playback
- Enters notes and chords when keys are clicked
Under The Hood
- Added ability to not cache instruments on loading a project
- When multiple app instances are on a single page and one instances requests to play while another is playing, the other instance now pauses.
- Namespaced CSS styles so Hookpad styles/CSS don’t modify external content when Hookpad app instances are rendered on webpages
- Enabled an inline configurable score + instrument player.
2.18.4 (2020.09.25)
Bug Fixes
- Fast double tap in the control bar in iOS no longer causes the entire app to “zoom”. This is a standard accessibility feature for iOS Safari webpages, but doesn’t make sense in Hookpad.
- Fixed issue with section paste using whatever was on clipboard, even if not a section. Now section paste only works if a section has been copied to the clipboard.
2.18.3 (2020.09.22)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed selection light-up indexing issue in projects with notes or chords that span the bounds of segments or lines. Bug introduced in 2.18.0.
2.18.2 (2020.09.21)
What’s New
- Added rewind button for Hookpad Player in Hooktheory Classroom.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed chord/note selection light-up becomes messed up if project has at least 32 bars reported by @Vaz123. Bug introduced in 2.18.1.
- Fixed the compact layout of the mixer dropdown in Hookpad Player
2.18.1 (2020.09.14)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed crash when clicking “sections” when the project had no sections. Bug introduced in 2.18.0.
- Defaulting to regular (non-touch) controls. 2.18.0 accidentally pushed with touch controls as default. Since this is a persistent app setting, see Preferences -> App Preferences -> Touch Controls if you want to restore the normal controls.
- Removed drawing of extra selected measures during measure selections that caused slow performance with large measure selection regions.
- Removed note staff preferences when not showing note staff
- Added keyboard shortcuts to nudge tooltips
- Fixed tooltip for zoom out touch control
- Added tooltips to chord palette labels
2.18.0 (2020.09.09)
What’s New
- On touch devices, added a magnifying glass when editing notes to show what is under your finger. This is on by default but can be turned off in Preferences -> App Settings -> Peek Under Finger.
- New touch control bar that prioritizes delete, undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, nudge, and zoom. This is off by default but can be turned on in Preferences -> App Settings -> Touch Controls
- New app setting for the height of notes. Support 6px - 24px (default is 10px). On touch devices, I recommend increasing the height to at least 16 px. See Preferences -> App Settings -> Note Height.
- New app setting to hide the labels in the control bar for a minimalist look once you learn the icons. See Preferences -> App Settings -> Show Labels In GUI.
- Simplified the measure context GUI (it gets activated by selecting measures). My head spun looking at it before.
- Improved tooltips throughout the GUI. On touch, do a long press to see the tooltip.
- Rearrange sections by dragging them left/right in the section staff. This doesn’t work on the section flags“flags” in the score; only in the section staff.
- Improved formatting and organization of preferences menu
Bug Fix
- Fixed crash when selecting popular chord palette before clicking any other palette.
- Fixed the meter for the master level spilling into a second row on mobile Safari.
