accolva update 2026.08.18.1611 — Bar-level locking, double-click to start editing

Changed

Locks now apply per bar instead of per part. Two people can write in the same guitar part at once — one on bars 1–8, the other on bars 9–16.
The range you hold is worked out for you. There is no lock or release button: it covers the bar your cursor is in, your unsaved bars, and the range you are about to write into, and it clears about 90 seconds after you leave the page.
Saving and conflict detection are per bar as well. Two people writing in different bars of the same part no longer collide on save.

Double-click the score to start editing that part, at that bar. A single click still just moves the cursor.
Who is editing where is drawn on the score as a rectangle across rows and bars.
When you write a chord progression, melody, or accompaniment into a range that overlaps someone else’s editing, accolva tells you before it runs.

Fixed the trash button in the song list not deleting the song.
The song list and song page now show the song’s owner.
Fixed the page becoming unscrollable after navigating within the app.
Fixed the input pad being clipped and hard to tap on mobile.
Fixed the page not loading after upgrading to Pro, and the currency used when the interface is in English.

No change to the save format. Existing songs and share links open as they always did.
Editing the song form still locks the whole song, because it moves the bar numbers themselves.
