notave update 2026.08.26.1823 — Start playback from the measure you pick
- Version: 2026.08.26.1823
- Released: August 26, 2026
- Contents: 2 additions, 4 changes, 1 fix
Added
- Select a measure and playback starts there. While stopped, ▶ or Space plays from the measure you picked. Starting mid-chart previously required the right-click menu.
- The playback bar has a position field. Type a measure number to jump there (during playback it shows the current measure).
Changed
- The stop button now stops on the first press and leaves the position where it is, then returns to the top on the second press, so you can replay the same phrase over and over. There is a separate button for jumping back to the start.
- The previous / next measure buttons work while stopped, moving the playback position one measure at a time.
- The count-in is no longer tied to the metronome being on. It plays even with the metronome off, and when you start mid-chart it now sounds right before your starting point instead of being skipped silently. Its length follows the time signature of the starting measure.
- The playback bar layout was tidied up. When space runs short, labels stack above each control instead of being hidden, and the swing percentage moved onto the label line. The bar now fits on a single line on 13-inch laptops.
Fixed
- Fixed the account menu running off the bottom of the screen when the window is short, which put its last items — sign in / sign out and the terms links — out of reach. The menu now scrolls.
Notes
- Chart data is unaffected, and the save format is unchanged.
- You can check your current version under “About notave” in the menu.
