  1. In a bootcamp lesson I accicentally hit the letter C on my laptop while I was trying to hit the space bar to start the count. From then on, as the lesson counted in, a C was marked as played in error about 2 measures ahead. This was before any actual key was struck on the piano, and happened multiple times. I tried going to a different lesson and then back to the one I was on, and the same thing happened. It resolved when I exited and re-entered Playground Sessions app.

  2. On the original version I was able to select and practice a certain measure or set of measures, and have on repeat. On the beta version you're unable to select specific measures. You can select a starting point but not an ending point, it just plays through the end of the song.

  3. After having moved on from Rookie to Advanced and having downloaded lots of basic songs it would be nice to be able to delete ones I will no longer use off my account.

  6. Display of finger numbers on keyboard overlaps on the beta. The keyboard letter is large and so is the finger number. The result is that neither is particularly readable. Not sure how to post images, but if there is a way I could show that.

  7. Version 3.0.39 - Windows 11. The feature to disable screen blanking while PS is up is great. With the released version, the screen blanking feature goes on frequently in the middle of an exercise when the touchscreen is not touched. However, with this Beta Version, screen blanking is not restored when the PS App is minimized. It seems that screen blanking is disabled, but not enabled after using the PS App.

  8. Intermediate Bootcamp, Lesson 19 in Beta, has only a video module, which I watched. I moved on to Lesson 20, but noticed Lesson 19 is only 12% complete. When I checked the Production version of the App, there are 9 modules, and I've only completed one. HP Envy x360.

  9. Provide a method to clear notation feedback. Sometimes I want to go back and practice a section on my own without using the Play button. Currently I advance to the next exercise and then return to the one I want in order to clear the note feedback and leave uncluttered notationn.

  10. Version 3.0.39 - Windows 11. When I press the repeat button, only 1 measure is highlighted and I cannot change the desired selection. The vertical bars at the beginning of the section and at the end of the section are unmovable, at least in touchscreen mode.

  11. The link for keyboard connection help on the start up Connect Your Keyboard" page does not work. Is this intentional for the beta? I was curious what recommendations were offered and how it was represented in this "new" app (beta). Can't do that if the link doesn't work.

  12. I think it would be a huge benefit to be able to set "user preferences". example-- I don't like using backing tracks but it defaults to on and I have to go in an manually turn them off for each section, lesson song etc. If I could set the user preference to not use backing tracks than that would be a huge help and a lott more effecient. The same with other features such as piano volume, metronome, speed, etc. All these can be set to user preferences/user defaults to personalize the user experience without having to change these with…

  13. The keyboard does not fit to my screen and the keys/names are bunched up, making them less legible. I run a 5120x1440 size screen, so this may be the issue but it shows find in the old version.

  14. Please allow us to keep using the existing version after the beta becomes live. I hate everything about the beta layout and appearance. It seems this version is designed for phones and I-pads at the expense of a real monitor. The grey background on the music is especially hideous. (desktop computer with Windows 7)

  17. Instant Feedback has always had a switch to toggle it off. The reason I hear most is that students find it distracting when they hit some red notes, sometimes to the point of not being able to continue. The problem is that when you turn off Instant Feedback, you don't get to see where your mistakes are. When the scoring window is presented at the end of PLAY, it should also post all the green/red/pink notes on the notation screen. The student wants to see where they made mistakes and zero in on that section for practice.

  18. The iPad beta removed some very useful information. After I and others complained, some was put back but in a very inconsistent manner and some is still missing.

    Specifically, the list that gives all the sections of a lesson, course. or song, used to always show the amount completed such as "0 of 9", "4 of 7", "12 of 12". There are various reasons why all 3 of these are useful. Seeing the numbers for lessons not started is very useful. For example, say you have enough practice time for a short lesson but the next lesson is "0 of…
