v0.4.4 Pre-release
Pre-release

Notable Changes

  • Can use longer duration for certain pick notes, mostly used for bass notes, a bit trivial to create them in tabs, but the result sounds much nicer.
  • Generate notes lane for guitar tab, which is really useful for learning fingerstyle or classical pieces.
  • Use different fonts for note pitch/syllable, and fret number.
  • Add command line args for choose language (e.g. add --lang zh-CN for Chinese version), no need for separate apps for language.
  • Bugfix with layout mode logic for some corner cases.
  • Some cleanup with Note struct.

Others

v0.3.1 Pre-release
Pre-release

Support loading tab from disk, separate tabs out of the code repository, provide tabs as a template. Can reload tab as well (shortcut as F5, or R), so it's much easier to work on tab writing.

Add barre position for guitar left hand shapes, which will be used in both the diagram and fretboard view to support using bigger range of fretboard.

Add a help panel to show welcome message and information related to current tab, such as note pitches, chord intervals.

Separate viewer to an English version and a Chinese version, only have Chinese font embedded in the Chinese version, to use different assets and trim down the binary size. (might want to do proper l10n later).

(The release build on osx keep crashing on my laptop when starting, not dig into it yet, so include a debug version as well, which works fine on my machine)

v0.1.0 Pre-release
Pre-release

Early stage build for easier test out without building from source.

Press Tab key or click the top left circle with current bar number to show the control GUI, can load other tabs from there.

It's possible that switching tabs or display modes might crash the app, need to restart it in this case.


Note that the Scarborough Fare tab in this version in not correct, it should be in Dorian scale, but the tab treated it as natural minor scale, fixed later.
