v2.5.1: • Fixes an issue with reverse chord search on iPhones running iOS 7. • Scales collections (and not only scale fingerings collections) can be exported to PDF. As always, your feedback is highly appreciated. If you like Chord!, please rate it in the App Store every time an update comes out, that helps me a lot! Thank you very much! v2.5: This is a massive update: • Scale fingerings: like for chords, the app can now compute proper scale fingerings (with block patterns) from given parameters like the maximum number of notes by string, or the maximum offset from string to string for example. • Chord arpeggios: using the same engine as for scale fingerings, the app can compute chord arpeggios. • Scale fingerings and chord arpeggios can be exported as full vector PDF's or raster images like JPG or PNG. • Custom everything: you can now define completely custom chords, chord fingerings, scales and scale fingerings. These custom elements can be anything you want, even wrong musically! You're in control! No more hide an seek to find that fingering you're looking for to put in a song! Simply spawn it! You can tell the app that CΔ is the chord with notes [C E B] and with fingering [x x x 2 2 2] if you want. Once defined, your custom elements are as first class citizens as the other ones. They are included in reverse searches, harmonizations, fingerizations, etc. So now, the app handle all the chords, all the scales, and all their fingerings, and this, for any tuning. • In the same spirit, you can define custom "Symbols" and use them to write songs. Think of "/" or "2x" for example. • A new grouping type called Collections. They can contains ordered lists of songs, chords, scales, etc. Chord and scale fingerings collections can be printed as PDF or exported as JPG or PNG images. Collections of songs can easily be exported as files and shared with other users of the app. They don't replace tags, they live beside (and collections can be tagged too!). • You can have several PDF export templates. • You can link auto scrolling with audio tracks from your iTunes music library (or by adding your own files to the app). You can adjust the speed and the pitch of the playback independently. So you can bring Jimi one semitone higher if you want to play along directly with your guitar standardly tuned for example. • The import algorithm does a better job in recognizing chords/lyrics lines, as well as chord symbols. • Lines jumps and inlined chords can manually be removed with one touch of a button. • Backup archives can now contain all your data: songs, chords, scales, as well as collections and tags. They are also more efficient so a thousand of songs library archive should take less than a MB. • Songs can be sorted by Author, Title or Last modified date, and displayed as a list or as thumbnails. • You can define your own color set for dots coloring. • Scale list can show intervals instead of notes. • Songs views can optionally keep the screen on. • Basic support of bluetooth page turners by responding to up/down or left/right keystrokes. • On iPhone, the app remembers the last chord input method used. So if you use only the "Simple mode", you don't have to select it each time. The same for scales. • The full screen fretboard is optimized and renders much faster. • A lot of bugs have been crushed, and hopefully not too many introduced. If you spot one, don't hesitate to report it at support@getchord.com. With all these new features, the app is more complex, but an extended documentation can now be found at http://getchord.com/support/. Please note that Dropbox sync was implemented and working but Dropbox has announced that they will make modifications which would have broken sync for the app in a few months. Dropbox sync is thus still planned but postponed to a next release.

On the menu: Autoscroll, better PDF’s and some other treats. New autoscroll feature for songs. Each one can have its own scrolling speed. You can specify a target duration or directly the speed, and some optional delays. New PDF rendering engine. The layout is enhanced and now fully customizable. You can tweak almost everything, from the color of each element to the space between two lines of lyrics. You can now batch assign line types in the song import module, which is also more robust. Some enhancement for the Reverse Chord Search algorithm which now include usual omissions to give more musical results (this can be disabled in the settings). Ukulele and banjo are displaying again standard fingerings in first positions. You don't have to manually switch of the "Root is bass" setting anymore. Some minor bugs and display glitches were fixed too. ...and still a lot more to come! As usual, if you spot a bug or have some suggestions, feel free to contact me. If you like the app, leaving a review or sharing with your friends is the best you can do to support it!
This update improves stability and addresses a number of minor issues. [For ukuleles and banjos: the "Let instrument decide" setting is ineffective, so please uncheck manually the "Root is bass" setting if you want to recover standard fingerings. This will be solved in the next update] If you have suggestions, or if you spot a bug, feel free to send me a message. And if you have a few moments, writing a review helps a lot!
