Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
* Added support for multiple tempos within a song. You can enter multiple tempos in the Tempo field, separated by a comma and a space, like "90, 120". You can then long-press the tempo button to select one of those tempos, or select them with the Previous/Next Tempo or Play Tempo 1-10 app control actions, or select them from an automation track.
* Added Settings > Advanced > Other > Use New Tempo Looping. This reworks the tempo functionality to play more accurately, especially when flashing the button with no sound, and will eventually allow more subdivision options and better MIDI Beat Clock accuracy.
* Added size and position guides while editing layouts and stage plots. When you size an item to match other item sizes, all the matching items will be highlighted. When you move an item into alignment with other items, all the aligned items will be highlighted. When you move an item into equal spacing with aligned items, all the equally spaced items will have lines between them. You can still select groups of items, click the group's Options button and click Apply Average Size, Align Centers or Space Equally.
• Added a visual grid when editing layouts.
* Added Settings > Appearance > Song List Fields and Settings > Appearance > Field Display Order to control which song fields appear in the Repertoire > Songs list, the set list Edit Songs list, the smart list preview and the song picker window.
• Updated the Repertoire > Songs list and the song picker window to show the rating and usage fields whenever they're selected in Settings > Appearance > Song List Fields. Previously, they only showed when sorting by those fields.
• Removed labels like "last performed" and "no rating" from the song fields to save space.
* Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > Send SMF Recording Data. If you turn this on, SMF files that you attach to songs will send their data out to other devices to be rendered into audio, instead of rendering into audio within BandHelper.
• Added a conflict prompt that appears if you edit an item that was edited on another device and synced to your device while you were editing it.
• Updated the Repertoire > All Songs button to select or create a new layout automatically if no layout is selected as the default.
• Fixed a problem where a Personal Transpose setting would be applied twice when hiding and showing bracketed chords.
• Fixed a problem saving MIDI presets to a song when the Interface Level is set to Simplified.
• Fixed a problem with syncing the time signature and rating field selections on the Share Set List and Share Songs pages.
• Fixed a crash when using auto-complete on text that contains multi-byte Unicode characters.
• Fixed a crash when calling the Next/Previous MIDI Preset or Next/Previous Recording app control actions for a song with no MIDI presets or recordings when Settings > App Control > Wrap Next/Previous Attachments is on.
