Thanks for using Drum Notation by Beat Note!

IMPROVEMENTS

Switching between Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and other audio devices is now seamless during playback, so you can keep practicing without restarting the app. Thanks to Michael for reporting this!
If playback is interrupted by a phone call, Siri, or an alarm, Beat Note now resumes exactly where you left off, including the current loop position, helping you stay focused on your practice session.
The lesson-sharing onboarding status indicator has a fresh new look that’s easier to spot, making it simpler to track your progress and see what steps remain to share your first lesson.

BUG FIXES

Fixed an issue on iPad where playback controls could become unresponsive after connecting an external display via HDMI. Thanks to Dave for reporting this!
