[Experience Improvements]

BAR LINE DISPLAY

You can now enable bar line display in [Settings - Game Settings]!

Currently shown as light-white circular markers — more customization options coming soon.

(After this update, bar lines are shown every bar by default)

BEAT COUNT-IN

You can now enable the beat count-in feature in [Settings - Game Settings]!

When enabled, a count-in sound plays in rhythm before the song starts — nail your timing with confidence!

(After this update, the count-in starts 2 beats before the song by default)

DEFAULT CHART-READING SETTINGS

After this update, the default [Note Reveal Timing] has been unified to 200.

This reduces the "speed-shift" feel. If reading feels off, try adjusting [Note Speed] and [Note Reveal Timing] to your liking!
