Country Flags, Playlist Feature, Video Player, Basic Auto-Detection and more!

你好! Updates, as usual they're heavily based on user feedback/ideas (particularly from our Discord server or emails - so thank you!):

• Country Flags: Now shown in multiplayer (Settings > Online). Thanks criteria_05252@ for the idea.

• Playlist feature: Queue up songs in the player or falling notes (has shuffle feature too), thanks @PsyOpsSub for the idea.

• Music Library > Local Files: easier access to local MIDI/MusicXMLs, looks up to 4 subfolders deep

• Sheet Music Trainer - More Customization: Allows more customization and fully adjustable range, able to set preferred chord types to focus on such as triads, octaves etc.

• File Size Reduction: Reduced file size of PianoGlow.

• Downward Notebeam Direction During Live Play: Thanks angel.at.an.angle@ for the idea.

• Video Player: Load local video files in a window. Thanks Playmaker@ for the feedback.

• Auto-detection: Though not strictly against rules, some players use third-party programs to play piano for them in multiplayer and pretend to be experts at piano. Better detection of these has been added, in addition to detecting virtual piano input (shown as VIRTUAL, which may infer they are using a virtual piano instead of a real one). Autoing that is using PianoGlow's features will show as "AUTO", while autoing using third-party shows as "AUTO (DETECTED)". Thanks Zanubis@ and noakopiano@ for the ideas/feedback.

  • Please note that it's impossible to detect all methods of auto-ing, hence this is just basic detection - it goes with the popular saying: "Locks are for honest people".

• Smaller Changes:

  • You can now jump to a specific page via text field input in the QWERTY Library, instead of just clicking on the page buttons. Thanks whiteout1337_@ for the idea.

  • While in multiplayer mode, you can now access both QWERTY typing and Word Typing better. Thanks yusuf@ for the feedback.

  • Small UI changes (moved some extra features into the Misc panel and combined the stats & leaderboard panel to save space).

  • Better support for custom keys in QWERTY Piano Controls e.g. you can set even ESC for the piano key binds. And conflicting keybinds on shortcuts are colored. Thanks cuppajoeman@ for the detailed feedback!

  • Some fixes.

I will be later expanding some businesses in Hong Kong, if you live in Hong Kong and have some advice, do let me know.

Do reach out on the Discord server or email [email protected] for feedback or concerns - every feedback is taken very seriously.

Thank you,
