  1. The Edit->GoTo menu has options for MySongs, BootCamp, and Courses. BootCamp and Courses work OK, but "My Songs" takes you to "Dashboard".

    I think you should have GoTo->MySongs go to the Songs page, not Dashboard. Since the menu says "My Songs", I think you'd want it to go to the Library tab since that's where "My Songs" are. Or, change the GoTo menu to refer to "Songs", not "My Songs". Then add GoTo->Dashboard to take you to the Dashboard.

  2. Operating System = Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1
    Computer = Intel Core i7 CPU @3.40GHz, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro M4000
    Keyboard = Roland RD-88

    I would like Playground Sessions to have a Practice Mode like PianoMarvel.

    PianoMarvel has a Practice Mode and a Play Mode.

    In Practice Mode, there is no set tempo. Rather, the program waits for you to study the notation and press the right key before advancing to the next note. I find this immensely useful while learning to sight read. I don’t feel rushed to keep up with a tempo.

    When I get confident in Practice…

  4. Cannot display in line-item, tabular format or sort by last played date. In v2.5, I use this to quickly go back to songs I have recently played. In v3, I need to scroll down until I get to the song I want. Minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless.

    Request: Have a selection that allows songs to be displayed in a list, and have that list sortable by the various columns (e.g., Title, Composer, Artist, Date, Difficulty).

  5. This isn't specific to the Windows app, but neither Song Requests nor other sections seemed like the right place for it: like many customers I was surprised and disappointed to find that my monthly five included "songs" in my membership weren't actually five songs but five arrangements. So to access all of one song's difficulty level, you have to redeem 3-6 "songs" credited to your account.

    I think the normal expectation after taking lessons that gradually up the difficulty as you learn that the songs you buy would do the same. That is, you'd start with the rookie versions, progress…

  6. Click on looping menu button a section of music is selected but I cannot change the selection. If I hover over start and end bars a tiny arrow appears that look like they would allow editing but as soon as I click near they go away.

  7. It no longer shows where I left off last time. Have to navigate again. Would be nice to maybe pin what you are currently working on. Would also be nice to pin favorites.

  9. The audio accompaniment isn't sync'd to the scroll bar. Timing is over half a beat out, so you are forced to play notes 1/2 - 3/4 of a beat early to get the app to show you you've hit the right notes. If you play BY EAR, according to the audio accompaniment, then you'll be over half a beat late, and whilst it will sound right to your ear, the app will tell you every note is wrong/missed.

    Tested same part in current app, no issues with timing.

  10. Hey guys, the new app seems to me a bit like MS Office 2007 compared to MS Office 2003 - claimed to be completely different, but in fact quite the same than before. However, I was already ok with the old app, in general. BUT:

    The main reason why I haven't purchased many songs, so far: I'd like to see in the Song List of the store, which songs I've already purchased.

  13. It feels like I get marked down for the accuracy of notes even though I believe I have played them accurately. If I play the same piece in the old app I get marked perfectly for accuracy. Has the criteria changed for accuracy? It seems much less tolerant now, to the point where I find it almost impossible to get 100% accuracy.

  14. I love the space bar to start and stop, however, when I complete a lesson and the window box for completing the lesson is still open on top of the main lesson window, it might be nice to make it so pressing the space bar doesn't start the lesson while the pop-up box is open.

  15. Beta timing is off. It appears that there is absolutely no wiggle room when hitting the keys. I just did the F scale course. In the beta, I am even using the metronome and I am getting dinged left and right. Doing the same lesson in the stable version I am not getting any errors.

  16. Compared to the old Windows app, the delay between pressing a piano key and hearing the note played by the app's internal synthesizer is much longer. On my particular PC, the delay in the old app was barely tolerable, but with the beta version it's now unusable. This is a big problem when trying to use Autoplay, and for people who need to turn down their piano volume and turn up the PG app's internal piano in order to use the PG app with headphones (which is the case for many users with pianos with no audio input support).

  20. The scroll bar in the windows app is much too thin especially on a desktop. I use a touch screen and it is frustrating and distracting when you cannot easily scroll.
