Problems with standard notation
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2011 8:29 pm
Hi Guys,
I upgraded to the latest version (1.24) which resolved the playback issue on iOS - huge thanks for this.
I was also delighted that the ability to toggle the fretboard/mixer to hide was added, this is a great addition to the app for playback.
I realize however that I am in a minority of guitarists in that I favour standard notation over TAB and there are some problems with the latest version here.
1 - If you have a guitar with standard notation only, the fretboard disappears (the area goes white) when you select a note in the notation. The only way to get back to the fretboard is to is to toggle to the mixer then off then back to fretboard. If you need to do anything except just enter notes this becomes a fairly serious problem.
2 - If you enter notes in TAB or mixed (TAB + notation), then switch to notation for printing/playback the app shifts all notes down a full octave. The sounds which is played back is correct, but the displayed note is one octave lower.
There seems no way to shift the notes back that I can see.
Sadly these issues mean that while I can stil play existing notation files without problem entering new music for display in standard notation is now almost impossible.
Grateful if you can check the above and confirm if you see the same issue. I have tried reinstalling the application and have tested on the latest iOS patch (5.0.1).
Thanks,
Marcus
