A new update to AudioTheory Guitars is here. This update includes a whole load of miscellaneous changes and bug fixes. Let's take a look at what's new...
[h2]Relative note names[/h2]
Numerous changes have been made to improve how the application handles relative note name formats (Degrees, Roman numerals and movable do). These now display relative to the last selected scale, rather than the current scale. This has the effect of allowing you to subtract notes from the scale and still see the relative intervals for what's left. So for example, if you started out with C major and removed D, F, A and B then you'd be left with C, E and G, which would be labelled as 1, 3 and 5 respectively (which is useful if you're learning arpeggios!).
Further to the above, auto scale matching now only checks the current scale set group, as well as and the regular major and minor scales. This prevents accidentally swapping to the pentatonic scale of another key (e.g. G A B D E can be viewed as a subsection of C major, and won't automatically swap to G major pentatonic in this situation).

[h2]Chord Updates[/h2]
Some chord display and playback issues have now been corrected. There's also some new barre chords available – an alternate set of 6th chord shapes and D minor shaped barre chords (found as an alternative option once the minor chord type has been selected – the default is still the A minor shape).
