AudioTheory Grids 1.1.0 – Relative Highlighting Update

AudioTheory Grids

AudioTheory Grids combines intuitive music theory tools with the power of a grid-based sequencer. Customise your grid, program in a composition and then play it back on the piano and fretboard diagrams.

Right around launch I was working on a new system for highlighting the piano notes (and in turn grid rows) which I dubbed 'Scale Based Highlighting'. This was added to the other AudioTheory application ([url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1176110/AudioTheory_Guitars/]AudioTheory Guitars[/url]) but I was pleased to be able to offer it at launch for AudioTheory Grids! But that was only step 1. This release fully completes the set of improved highlighting tools I have been working on and I hope you enjoy the improvements.

This means that all Sharp and Flat notes now update dynamically based on the applied scale. These display with an outline indicating the note colour (again relative to the scale!). This of course requires a scale to be selected, however I have also added some default display options to the 'guitars' tab in the settings cog. This means that when a scale is not loaded you now have the choice between displaying sharps, flats or both (before the only option was both). [h3]Fixed Do solfège[/h3] In the spirit of customisation the other big addition is an option to change the note language in the settings. If you would prefer for notes to be named using the Fixed do convention (Do, Re, Mi... instead of C, D, E...) then this is now supported. Aside from this there have been a few bug fixes since the initial launch, however I set these live as soon as they were ready so these have actually been in effect for a week or so now! Thanks for reading and keep practicing. Fraser [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38677940/002853ce2a37ea380f4a20d8e12ea169a69331e3.png[/img]
