What's New

Chord locking. You can now lock one chord type for a chord button. This feature is disabled by default, go to 'Preferences | Chord Locking' to enable it.

How to lock a chord:
1. Tap on a note button.
2. Slide your finger to the required chord type (or stay at center if you need a major chord)
3. Then put your finger flat (with a big touching are) without lifting it. The color of the chord type panel frame and of the active button should become green.
4. Lift your finger.

To unlock a chord, again, put your finger flat on the button.
You can adjust how flat you need to put your finger to toggle the locking mode using 'Threshold' parameter in the preferences.

Thanks Derek Brown and Richard Meyer for the suggestion of this feature.
