Orfeo 1.7.3 — The Explorers hear your keyboard, a bigger Settings window
12. 11. 2026
- Hold a chord on your keyboard and both Explorers name it; the Scales Explorer also shows which scales it belongs to.
- The Settings window opens larger, with bigger text, and resizes from any edge or corner.
- The tempo can show as a speed in percent instead of BPM.
- Songs and folders that are shortcuts (symbolic links) now show in the Library.

Changed
notes on a connected keyboard: it names the chord, picks its root and tile, and lights it in
the shape you played, inversion included, without playing it again. A chord that's only in
Extended switches the list there, and a notes or hand filter or a search that would hide it
is cleared. Notes that make no chord light up with their names instead.
tiles names it, with its inversion and the notes you hold, left to right (C/E 1st inv

it, text, cards and controls, grows with it, so it's much easier to read. Drag any edge to
make it wider or taller, or a corner to resize it in proportion; double-click an edge for
the size it opened at. It stays clear of the top bar, and remembers its size and place.
top as BPM, as before, or as a speed against the song's own tempo: 100 % as written, 50 % at
half speed. The arrows step by one percent and you can type a speed, just as with BPM. The
number keeps the same room whatever it shows, so nothing beside it moves as it changes.
Fixed
(symbolic links) to files kept elsewhere, for example an index by artist pointing into one
big collection, came up empty: only real files loaded. Links to songs and to folders are now
followed, a linked folder appears in the folder list, a link whose file is gone is skipped,
and a folder linked back into itself no longer keeps the scan going round forever. Thanks to
Jon Drews.
