New Features

* A new Target Staff feature has been added to the note palette that lets you touch to insert a new note in a staff, but have that note actually be inserted in a staff either above or below. This both speeds up inserting cross-staff notes and/or makes it much easier to add notes that have many ledger lines.
* The first measure can now be set as a pickup measure with the ability to either include or exclude in measure numbering.
* Lyric choruses are now italicized to differentiate them from verses.
* Lyrics can now be positioned above the staff set up in the Staff Manager.
* Road Map window now updates live making changes such as inserting/deleting measures, or adding/changing repeats.
* Removed measure number at the start of system one in Page View as this is more conventional.
* A more intuit way to cancel the inserting of new notes has been added, Advanced Settings: Cancel When Exceeds Staff Midlines.
* When dragging to insert a new note and after moving into the cancel note area (exceeding number of ledger lines or beyond staff midlines), you can now simply drag back to the legal area without having to start over with a new touch.
* When inserting a note that has been dragged into the cancel note area (above/below the staff), the note is now dimmed to indicate that.
* A new insertion line that moves as you drag a new inserted note appears vertically between the outer lines of the staff which is helpful (especially when in multiple ledger line territory) to see exactly where the new note will be inserted.
* A new cancel new note mode (when trying to insert a note too far above/below the staff) has been added to Advanced Settings: Sliding Palette.


Bugs Fixed

* Fixes an issue where the display dropdown, “Previous” was not cycling through all staffs to highlight illegal measures.
* Fixed an issue where meters with a wide numerical denominator was too close to the previous clef or key signature.
* General speed increase.
* Some Settings menu items have been reworded to better reflect their function.
* Regions can now be extended or moved by dragging their handles in page view.
* Fixed an issue where if you didn’t tab out of the End Measure text field in the Transformation Editor’s main view when entering the Action Editor, you didn’t get the updated range.
* Fixed an issue where an unexpected quit would occur if you tried to drag a slur from a voice which was not the current voice.
* Fixed an issue where the display dropdown window was not closing when the Edit Menu window, audio view, or handwriting was opened.
* Fixed an issue where if you were trying to insert a note using the note palette and were in pitch sliding mode and went out of bounds (above/below staff) then immediately went into non-pitch sliding mode, you couldn’t place a note.
* Fixed an issue where if you were inserting a note in non-pitch sliding mode and toggled to a rest and had the audio on, dragging the rest still sounded audio.
* Fixed an issue where playback was not starting from the current playhead position but rather, always from the beginning.
* Fixed an issue where the visibly topmost system of any page in presentation view was not getting a measure number shown.
