What’s new
Improved lyrics editing and new lyrics export
- Lyrics editor now groups lyrics by section. Moving/editing/removing sections in the section editor will make corresponding edits to your lyrics.
- Lyrics editor now has a syllable counter that displays syllable counts for each line.
- Added buttons to control note skipping, as well as a note skip token in the lyrics UI to replace the underscore “_” and “3”. Use these tokens to create a single lyric over multiple notes.
- Added a new lyrics export to print out lyrics sheets for easy reading.
Bug fixes
- Serializing compressor and limiter on WAV and MP3 exports to fix compression artifacts that were occuring every 6 seconds or so due to OfflineContext refreshing.

2.27.0 (2023.11.07)
What’s new
New WAV and MP3 export
- Migrated export technology to WebAudio OfflineContext. New capabilities include:
- Exports are now audio glitch-free. Data is recorded when browser resources are available rather than in real time, e.g., exports are now “bounced” rather than “recorded.”
- For most projects, this means exports happen 2-10X faster than before!
- WAV and MP3 export now support track stems!
Choose “Track stems” option to export each track type (e.g., lead1, harmony, bass, drums) to separate files at the same time!
- Instrument stem export now available! From the band browser, click the export icon next to the MIDI clip icon to export a single instrument from the current selection to WAV or MP3.
New Guitar instrument
- Added a guitar instrument that shows chords in relative notation as you add them to your project and during playback.
Other updates
- Added an option to display timestamps in section markers. Enable with Settings → App Preferences → Show Timestamps
- Added Sign in with Apple
Bug fixes
- Fixed bug causing exported sheet music where lyrics contained punctuation directly to the left of some words to fail (e.g. “Hello .now”)
