Patch Notes v1.0.21

3 Mar

Maestro Level Editor — Patch Notes v1.0.21

New Features

Save System

Save As Dialog: When saving a new level for the first time, a dialog appears with a smart filename suggestion based on your Composer, Piece Name, and Sub-Name (e.g., "Beethoven_SymphNo5_AlleConBri"). You can edit the name before confirming.
Rename / Save as Copy: If you change the piece name after the initial save, a dialog now lets you choose between renaming the file, saving as a new copy, or cancelling.
Conflict Resolution: If a filename already exists, the editor offers options to overwrite, save with a numeric suffix (_1, _2, etc.), or cancel.
Unsaved Changes Warning: Returning to the Main Menu with unsaved changes now prompts a dialog: Save and Exit, Exit without Saving, or Cancel.

Animation Tab

MIDI Sync for All Instrument Families: The Sync MIDI feature now supports Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, and Percussion — not just Strings. Each family has tailored behavior:
- Strings: Full bow synchronization, finger positioning per string, vibrato detection, Pizzicato and Col Legno technique switching via MIDI patch changes.
- Woodwinds: Finger positioning synchronized with played notes.
- Brass: Finger positioning, plus automatic Mute detection via patch changes for Trumpets, Trombones, Euphoniums, and Tubas.
- Percussion: Hit animations per note with velocity-based intensity. Timpani features alternating-hand logic and look-ahead focus between drums.
MIDI Sync Caching: MIDI analysis data is now cached after the first analysis. Toggling Sync on/off is instant after the initial parse.
MIDI Track Selection (without Sync): You can now assign a MIDI track to any instrument without enabling Sync. This allows using Smart MIDI while keeping the MIDI track associated for future reference.
Vowel Icons Updated: Choir vowel animation icons now use English phonetic names: Ah, Eh, Ee, Oh, Ooh (previously displayed as A, E, I, O, U).
Smart Animation Vowel Detection: For choir voices (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass), Smart Animation now uses a built-in vowel recognition system with dedicated frequency profiles per voice type. Instead of generic "Play" icons, it automatically places the correct vowel icons based on spectral analysis.
Copy/Paste by Range: New per-track tool that lets you copy animation icons from a specific range of measures and paste them to a different position within the same track. Supports full Undo/Redo.
MIDI Info Panel: When a MIDI track is assigned and playback is active, a real-time panel displays: current note name and MIDI number, velocity, playing state, technique (Normal, Pizzicato, Col Legno, Mute), and patch change info. A mini piano keyboard visualization highlights the active note.
Live Track Status: Each animation track now shows the current animation state and playback speed in real-time during playback.
Multi-Instrument Indicator: Tracks with multi-instrumentist musicians (e.g., percussionists) now display an icon and a count showing the active instrument and total available (e.g., "1/3 Cymbal").

Gameplay Tab

Copy/Paste by Range Tool: New panel accessible from the toolbar. Define a source range, a target measure, and select which lanes (Dynamics, Right Hand R/C/L, Left Hand R/C/L) to include. Overlapping icons at the destination are automatically replaced (Smart Replace). Uses sub-beat precision for accurate icon placement. Supports Undo/Redo.
Clear Tempo Buttons: Two new buttons to clear all Tempo icons from the Right Hand or Left Hand lanes individually. Useful when regenerating Smart Tempo patterns.
End Bar Singleton Rule: Placing a new End Bar line now automatically removes any previous instance, preventing duplicate endings.

Improvements

Audio Tab: Added precise volume input — click the dB value on any track to type an exact level. Added track activation toggle (checkbox) to enable/disable audio output without losing volume settings.
Gameplay Preview: Timeline scrubbing now correctly resets and recalculates all gameplay icon triggers, preventing icons from being skipped or double-triggered.
Choir Smooth Transitions: Choir members now smoothly transition their idle speed when switching between singing and resting states, instead of abruptly snapping.
Timpani Modes: Added support for both 2-timpani and 4-timpani configurations with automatic focus look-ahead for more realistic playing.
Smart Filename Generation: The Save As dialog now generates clean, abbreviated filenames from your metadata (e.g., "Beethoven_SymphNo5_AlleConBri"), respecting file system character limits.
Instrument Sections: The file now saves which instrument families are present (Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion, Choir) for use in Maestro VR's Rehearsal Mode.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the MIDI Info Panel technique text had broken line breaks.
Fixed potential corrupted file reads for older .maestro format versions (improved defensive reading).
Fixed an issue where the level list would not refresh correctly after importing files.
Fixed notification messages for missing or corrupt level files being unclear.
Fixed audio cleanup when switching levels — obsolete MIDI cache files are now properly removed after saving.
Fixed the Copy/Paste function on animation tracks only pasting compatible icons for the destination instrument.
Fixed an issue where the Sync MIDI toggle could be enabled without first selecting a MIDI track.
Fixed the MIDI dropdown becoming editable while Sync was active, which could cause desynchronization.
and many more minor bugs...

Technicals issues and advice for devs

Advice: support mp3 or another audio files, I don't know how to convert any audio to MIDI and I hope the first language you will add (if you add more) is spanish; the second language of the entire world. Issues: Cant select AUDIO, ANIMATION, GAMEPLAY, PREVIEW. So I get stucked in the first settings to add map, characters and MIDI....
