In this update we add a Continuous Scrolling option, add mp3 as an option when exporting audio, option to route metronome/click to a different audio out, add some additional options to Song Sheet that allow user notes and lyrics to be displayed with a colored background (for emphasis) and allow notes to be placed above the bar. We've also made a number of other tweaks, improvements, and bug fixes.
The Song Sheet View provides an alternative to the horizontal scrolling of the Waveform views and displays a song in the familiar sheet music type format.
Song Master now provides tools for importing and downloading Lyrics, editing and synchronizing lyrics to a song, and displaying lyrics in a synchronized scrolling window.
We continue to improve Song Master to give you the best tools for improving your enjoyment and playing of music. For this release we went back to the drawing board to focus on improving the sections algorithm.
We've been hard at work improving the beat detection and chord recognition algorithms for this release. We had also planned on including improvements to the section determining algorithm as well, but it still needs some more work. So instead of delaying this release any further, we've decided to release things without the improvements to the section algorithms--we'll release a free update when we are satisfied with the results.
The folks at Gig Performer kindly invited us to appear on their Backstage live stream to discuss Song Master and how it can be integrated with their outstanding product, Gig Performer. Check it out:
This is primarily an update that fixes a couple of crashes and a handles a number of things better.
There's a lot of functionality and workflow items that appear just below the surface of Song Master. Knowing about these will help you focus more on music and less about making mouse clicks.
In April, we added nine videos to our new YouTube channel. Each video is two to five minutes long and focuses a single topic.
