Additions
- Massive performance improvements! Songs should now rarely slow down, skip notes, or cut off when too many sounds are playing at once.
- Added an option to expand the workspace to cover the whole screen, accessible from the button at the lower right corner of the workspace or by pressing F11. (#121)
- Added a blackout mode, which makes the workspace completely black so you can key it out in your video editor when recording the screen. It's accessible from the Preferences or by pressing F10.
- Added a sound count display to the status bar. It will turn red when too many sounds are playing at once, meaning sounds may be skipped.
- Added a preference to display the number of right-clicks on piano keys inside the 2-octave range. (#154)
- Added a preference toggle for the red outline on incompatible blocks.
- Added a preference toggle for the red tint on out-of-range piano keys.
- Changed the note block display modes to three individual toggles, so you can control them independently. (#134)
- Added colors and shapes to custom instruments. (#74)
- It's now possible to select lower and higher out-of-range notes independently in the Compatibility window. (#161)
- Added an uninstall function to data packs, which will remove all tags and objectives pertinent to the song and disable the data pack.
- Added an 'Enable looping' checkbox to Song properties, which must be ticked to enable looping persistently in a song.
- The loop button in the toolbar will now only control looping for the current session.
- The 'Save options' setting was moved from Settings to the File menu. (#151)
- The song will now be marked as having unsaved changes when you edit a layer, change the song properties, or rename a custom instrument.
- Instruments in the toolbar will now collapse into a box when there are too many to fit the screen width. (#155)
