Upcoming Playtest, Typing Mode, and Split Staff

Upcoming Playtest

I'm targeting a Steam technical playtest at the end of February. This will show a vertical slice of the game - stay tuned for more details in the next update.

Comment below If there's any songs in the public domain that you want to see in the technical playtest, I'll do my best to get them in!

Typing Mode

If you don't have a MIDI keyboard or you just want to play a typing game, I've got good news!

I've added a new setting that adds letters to the notes / piano keys to make it easier to play the game as a typing game - no knowledge of how to play piano required at all.

Split Staff

Previously, the grand staff was "joined together" so that every note had exactly one possible spot on the staff - the gap between treble and bass clef was only for middle C.

The grand staff is now "split" like real sheet music! This makes it much easier to see which notes should be played by the left hand vs. which notes should be played by the right hand.
