[Updated with a brand new audio engine to fix recent issues.]
New in Fall 2021: three big new features to make your practice sessions even better!
* Medleys! Multiple songs can be combined into a set and Strum Machine will seamlessly play through them one after another. Songs can be in different keys and at different tempos if desired. Watch the overview of how medleys work by searching for "medleys" in the in-app Help, or just load up a song and then go to “Medley” in the right-hand sidebar to get started.
* New “playlist” features! Go to any song through a list and you’ll see a list navigation bar at the top of the screen, with Auto-Advance and shuffle features available.
* Ending brackets! These can be used to have a repeating section end differently on each repetition.

This update brings further enhancements to the song editor as well as a bevy of small improvements and bug fixes. For a full list of changes, open the top-left menu in the app and tap "About / Version History".
1.331.1
2020-12-17
This is an extra-special update, nearly five months in the making. It features a major overhaul of the song editor, with many new features and improvements:
* New chords: 6, maj7, sus2, sus4, and augmented now available! (Other chords to be added by popular demand.)
* Slash chords (where you can set the bass note independently of the strummed chord) are now available.
* You can subdivide the beat into individual sub-beats (quarter notes, to be exact) and assign a different chord to each one.
* Line length can now be set for each line, for when the phrasing of a song doesn't divide evenly into groups of 4 measures.
* New Chord, Chart, and FX menus to access all these new features.
* You can now multi-select (click-and-drag or Shift+arrow-keys) in the song editor to make edits to many beats at once.
* Cut/copy/paste functionality is now available in the song editor. Comes in handy for quickly duplicating phrases within a section, for example.
* New keyboard shortcuts; click the Shortcuts button in the editor to see the keyboard commands available.
* Hear as you edit feature; listen to chords as you type them in and move around the chart you're editing.
* Redesigned section editing interface -- no more popup window to edit the section label or rep count.
* Lots of rewritten modules under the hood: key/chord logic, chart-rendering engine, dropdown renderer, etc. Fixed some long-standing bugs in the process.
