Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
- When a rudiment is entered in Rhythm 1 with R and L split between lines, the mixer will show RH/LH instead of Line1/2 for the faders.
- Added Notation Settings to Preferences with an option for sub grouping large numbers of notes (e.g. 12 notes over a half note divided into 3 groups of 16ths with a triplet marking)
- Fixed issue where non-PDF attachments didn't show up.
- Fixed issue with sticking colouring when entering under a rhythm.
PREVIOUSLY: Flams/drags/ruffs now play using opposite sounds for grace notes.
