* Replaced Settings > Audio & MIDI > Audio Options > Play Two Recordings Together with Play Recordings Together, which can select up to 8 recordings to play together. You can change this setting to play different combinations of recordings for different situations, like adding a drum track only when a drummer is not available. If you add the Master Volume item to your layout, you can also adjust a volume slider for each recording. Any of the recordings can be MIDI sound files (previously you could only play one MIDI sound file at a time) and can have MIDI data files attached (previously you could only play one MIDI data file at a time). Audio recordings can be mono or stereo. To start playing multiple recordings, you can use the single Recording button, the recording controls or the Start Recording app control action; the multiple recording buttons will only play individual recordings. When Play Recordings Together is set, Settings > General > Defaults > Recording will be ignored.

* Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Recording Position Labels. These labels will appear in the Play Recordings Together picker for easy reference, and will appear in the recording buttons in your layouts instead of the recording names if you also turn on Show Labels In Recording Buttons. You can use these settings to show simplified names like "Click Track" and "Drum Track" on all your songs instead of song-specific names like "Freebird click -2" and "Proud Mary click track."

* Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Cross Fade Recordings. If you set a number of seconds here, then play a recording while a previous recording is still playing, the two recordings will cross fade over the duration you set. This will work between recordings attached to the same song, or between recordings from different songs if you turn on Settings > Audio & MIDI > Continue Audio When Changing Songs.

• Renamed the Master Volume layout item to Volume Controls.

• Added a slider for the video volume to the Volume Controls layout item.

• Added a setting for Set List Stats to the layout details edit page, to show the set list duration and song count in the top toolbar of the set list view.

• Fixed a problem where a break couldn't be selected when the song list contains MIDI buttons, the main layout area does not and the App Controls are set to send MIDI on song selection.

• Updated Settings > Appearance > Hide Parentheses in Chord Lines to ignore parentheses in non-chord lines.

• Fixed a problem where the new recording wouldn't play if you played a recording from the single recording button or recording controls, then selected a different recording from the multiple recording buttons without pausing first.

• Updated the recording waveforms to redraw when changing layouts, and to fill an area wider than 1024 pixels.

• Updated the MIDI Learn function to match incoming data to a device regardless of its port name as long as it is the only device using the same channel.

• Updated the MIDI Learn function to add new rows as control change messages are received, so you can capture more than one control change at a time for the same device.

• Fixed a problem that disabled the Copy button initially on the transaction edit page.

• Added Settings > Live Sharing > Share Actions > Follow Account Syncing, to start a sync on the following devices whenever the lead device syncs. If all your devices are connected to the Internet, you can use this to automatically update the following devices when you edit data on the lead device.

• Restored the automatic refresh of the set list view after syncing.
