Pattern Editor:
Patterns now automatically inherit chords from the Chord Input. This works both when creating new patterns and when creating new MIDI tracks with the Pattern Event type, ensuring the harmonic context is preserved from the start.
Pattern events now have a separate Pattern field in the info bar, allowing you to quickly switch the active pattern for a selected event without opening additional editors.
The Pattern Editor toolbar now features a new Auto Scroll mode, simplifying playback tracking when editing long patterns.
The Show Only Lanes with Steps filter is now preserved when using Randomizer or Variations, ensuring track visibility remains exactly as you set it.
Drum Mode now allows you to change the display order of drum sounds. The control is located at the top of the step track list and is especially convenient for adapting to different drum maps or workflows.
The Hub
Settings dialog now features a new option that displays the Default Location and Project Folder Name directly on the Projects page for quicker access.
If the Use Default Location option wasn’t previously enabled, it can now be activated directly by clicking the folder icon.
Score Editor
Dynamics can now be placed independently on each staff on grand staff instruments, providing proper control over piano notation.
Fixed a bug that could cause multiple dynamic markings to be duplicated during editing.
Tremolo articulations from Expression Maps are now correctly displayed in the score and no longer appear as staccato points.
The Symbols tab now displays symbol names in the current interface language.
Hiding explicit triplets now also hides the corresponding bracket, making the notation cleaner.
