  1. In the Rookie Bootcamp, in the Song "In The End" there is a "ghost" note in the first measure that is not visible but at the end of the playback the Beta App says I'm missing a note even though I played all the "Visible notes". Also I'm getting a Score of 94 even though I played all the notes correctly.

  2. BPM cannot be input. Will be better if we can change the BPM by keying in the BPM we wanted.

    The BPM increment should be in ascending or descending order. The jump in number is too much.

  3. To be consistent with other Mac apps, in the "Playground Sessions for Piano" menu, "Quit playground" and "Hide playground" "playground" should be "Playground"

  4. ERROR SAVING PRACTICE

    After 2 hours of practice today I received this ERROR notice while it was trying to save my score:

    I had never had this happen before.

    After closing, the application hung up, with the "loading" graphic on the screen:

    I had to close the application and reopen again

  6. The recommended finger number setting is great with new feature to see the note names too. Would be great for the older Mac App to have this feature. Really like it. Still hope that we can change the finger number when we wanted because it is a personal preference.

  7. On Annie's Song, the beat of the music is correct, but the moving bar is operating at twice the speed. This seems to be happening in all lessons for this song. (MacBook Pro 2015, OS Catalina 10.15.7)

  8. After clearing the looping function, when I hit play, the cursor doesn't jump to the beginning of the song. Therefore, I need to stop playback, move to the top/beginning of the song, and hit play again.

  9. A key on the Piano to play/pause. Currently at the end of a lesson play through there is a dialog box where the "C" key is repeat, "D" is next, and "B" closes the window. Please add a key to play/pause such as "E" or "A".

  10. When I first installed and launched the Playground Sessions for Piano application the bottom of the window is cut off, it is not visible, and no scrollbars are available.

    On the initial Keyboard Setup screen there is a scrollbar and there is a LARGE amount of whitespace between the login fields and the Start Keyboard Setup button.

    Changing the window to be closer to a 4:3 aspect ratio on the Intro screens, there was not a height or width where the horizontal and vertical scrollbars were displayed. The vertical scrollbar covers up the close button in the top right of…

  11. In the current version the loop button loops the entire lesson/section but the beta method means you have to mark the section to loop - This is OK for small parts but a pain if it's in a longer piece so can we have a "loop all" function to save having to do this?

  12. I setup my volume controls in settings but when I play the Hanon Exercise, the Metronome is at 80% volume and I have to change it every time I want to start playing. Very troublesome. Hopefully the volume settings can stay as what I have setup in volume settings.

  13. I am using Mac Big Sur 11.6.4 On a number of lessons eg rookie, lines treble clef, there are 2 issues. The first issue is - after the treble clef there is an odd stand alone line. The second issue is - the notes are doubled where they should not be (this is not for a chord) for example where you play a G, it comes up as GG. I noticed this on a couple of lessons on intermediate too.

  14. In lessons that contain an onscreen keyboard (Prelude in C Challenge - Lesson 1, part 2 for example), the bottom of the keyboard and note names are covered up by the playback bar.

  16. It would be great if clicking keys on the computer keyboard such as "C" for repeat, "D" for next, "B" to close a pop-up, and "E" to play/pause.

  17. Please add "Play/Pause" to the File, Edit, or Go To menu so that computer keyboard shortcuts can be assigned. Then I could use the built in Mac System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts app to assign a keyboard shortcut.

  19. Hopefully can improve on this. Learner would find it unachieveable and not want to practice it. The untimate goal is to make people want to learn and achieve being able to play the song and feel good.
