  • Double-clicking a chord diagram will open a dialog to edit it, and selecting a chord diagram and pressing Delete will remove it

• Improvements for adjusting the score's zoom (ISSUE-50: Add zoom in/out shortcuts #315, More persistent view settings #340, Adjustable layout #50)

Fixed

• Fixed various playback issues with alternate endings (add check for complex alternate endings #306, Incorrect playback of nested repeats #353, Incorrect playback of alternate ending where the final ending isn't the last repeat end bar #354)
• Fixed a bug where alternate endings could be drawn too far if there were multiple repeat end bars in a system
• Fixed an issue where MIDI playback did not reset correctly if playback was interrupted during a pitch shift (e.g. bend or tremolo bar) (MIDI Player goes out of tune #361)
• When the Windows installer is run in silent mode, the option to launch the app after installing is now disabled
• Fixed a bug where editing the first system could cause it to shift up and overlap with the score information or chord diagrams
