Sun Piano
• Needs Android 12 or newer, and no longer asks for the location permission
• New About screen: version, license and links to the source code
• On phones the whole top bar fits: Settings and About are icons
• Metronome: Start/Stop is next to Done, always visible on phones
• A damaged settings file no longer crashes the app; it's replaced and saving works again
• No stuck note when a MIDI keyboard is unplugged while playing
Keyboard
- All 88 keys, multitouch, with a mini-map to jump anywhere on the keyboard
- Glissando: slide a finger across the keys to play each one
- Loudness from where you touch a key
- Note names as letters or Do-Re-Mi, 7 to 28 visible keys, octave buttons
