Features
New Editor Keyboard Shortcuts
GAP and BPM
Previously only in spinners, but now via shortcuts:
- Change Gap
- 9 - Reduces Gap by 10. If the Gap is not divisble by 10, the Gap will be rounded down. e. g. 2233 becomes 2230. 2230 becomes 2220
- 0 - Increases Gap by 10. If the Gap is not divisble by 10, the Gap will be rounded up. e. g. 2233 becomes 2240. 2240 becomes 2250
- Shift9 - Reduces Gap by 1000. This operation will not apply any rounding. e. g. 2233 becomes 1233
- Shift9 - Increases Gap by 1000. This operation will not apply any roundings. e. g. 2233 becomes 3233
- Change BPM
- CTRL– Reduces BPM by 0.1. BPMs to the second decimal point will be rounded down. e. g. 123.45 becomes 123.4. 123.4 becomes 123.3
- CTRL+ Increases BPM by 0.1. BPMs to the second decimal point will be rounded up. e. g. 123.45 becomes 123.5. 123.5 becomes 123.6
- CTRLSHIFT– Reduces BPM by 1. BPMs to the first decimal point will be rounded down. e. g. 123.45 becomes 123. 123 becomes 124
- CTRLSHIFT+ Increases BPM by 1. BPMs to the first decimal point will be rounded up. e. g. 123.45 becomes 124. 124 becomes 125
Please note, that the shortcuts that used to work in Yass Along (G and all variations with CTRL, SHIFT and ALT have been removed in favour of the same keyboard shortcuts as the Ultrastar Deluxe Editor.
To change the BPM, the keyboard shortcuts differ from the USDX editor to the extend, that you have to use it with CTRL as – and + are already used to split or join syllables.
Fix 'Normal Note' and 'Play Next' ambiguity
When editing songs and you just edited the lyrics, typing N would fire an event to change the current note to normal. Otherwise, it would play the audio right after the note. While the latter is a custom key binding (through settings), it is the default behaviour until you change it, which means, that most people will leave it. To avoid this ambiguity, this is the default behaviour now:
N Plays the audio from right after the current note until the next note. This is very useful to determine note lengths
ShiftN Changes any selected note to "normal". Any Golden-, Freestyle- or Rap-Note will become regular notes again.
Autosave functionality
- Yass Reloaed Issue #11 - When editing songs, any changes will be automatically saved after 300 seconds to a backup file. If the user accidentally exits the editor without saving their work, or the program crashes unexpectedly, when opening the editor for that song again, the last autosave will be compared with the actual txt and can be used to restore it to the last version.
- The autosave interval can be configured in the Extras → Preferences → Editor → Control (0 seconds to disable autosave, or up to 600 seconds)
Better handling of file deletion
- Yass Issue #147 Deletes files straight away, and can't recover them - If the OS supports it, deleted songs will now be moved to the Recycle Bin rather than being deleted immediately. If you delete, rename or move a file or folder manually and then try to edit it in Yass Reloaded, the library will be refreshed.
Logging
- Previously, it was only possible to see the console output, when Yass Reloaded was started via the command prompt in a console window. Now, theses messages will be logged in a log.txt file, saved in the .yass user directory
Bugfixes
- Yass Issue #144 Find and replace uses previous song lyric - This bug also affected Yass Reloaded.
- Yass Reloaded Issue #17 Can't Paste Note Heights over multiple lines - When selecting multiple notes across multiple pages, note heights can now be pasted onto other notes.
