addedWord Typing Mode: New mode. This unlocks at 1000 lifetime score of the QWERTY typing mode (mostly to avoid confusing players of thinking it's the QWERTY mode when it's a different mode). You can attach a song to the word typing mode. Practice your touch-typing skills here!
changedHide UI: More settings to hide more of the UI, including the top-right buttons.
added3D Piano Improvements: The 3D piano now has a setting to whether the notebeams should be parallel to the front face of the piano or the back face. Separate notebeam X rotation as well - thanks PsyOpsSub@ for the new ideas on it.
addedFixes & smaller updates: Phrygian Dominant fix - thanks noakopiano@ for helping and noting down the new keys for this. Piano alignment and visual fixes - thanks egemen.piano@ for the detailed reports. Some translation fixes - thanks Veoblack@ for the reports.

  • Word Typing ModeNew mode. This unlocks at 1000 lifetime score of the QWERTY typing mode (mostly to avoid confusing players of thinking it's the QWERTY mode when it's a different mode). You can attach a song to the word typing mode. Practice your touch-typing skills here!
  • Auto Piano Shifting: When you select the "AUTO" setting after setting a smaller piano e.g. 61 key piano, or 25 key piano etc, whenever you press a note on your MIDI piano that's out of range of the visible piano on the app, the app will automatically shift the lowest note of the piano to fit that note in. In other words, when you press the lowest/highest note in-game, the piano will automatically shift to fit those notes. Thanks to the person from China who emailed support@pianoglow.com about this idea.

  • Hide UI: More settings to hide more of the UI, including the top-right buttons.

  • 3D Piano ImprovementsThe 3D piano now has a setting to whether the notebeams should be parallel to the front face of the piano or the back face. Separate notebeam X rotation as well - thanks PsyOpsSub@ for the new ideas on it.
  • True Transpose Affects Label Setting: It will reflect the QWERTY controls transposed on the piano.

  • Better falling notes "Loop Range" controls: Thanks to the person from China who emailed this idea.

  • Fixes & smaller updates:

    • Phrygian Dominant fix - thanks noakopiano@ for helping and noting down the new keys for this.
