NEW RUDIMENTS: Four more in the library, free to practice: Flam Accent, Single Stroke Four, Paradiddle-Diddle and Double Paradiddle join the library. FIXED - Triplet patterns read the way you'd write them. A figure with rests in a triplet or sextuplet feel now draws as notes of the right length under the right bracket, instead of a row of rest glyphs under a bigger one. - Patterns with a half-finished last beat no longer drift. If you saved an exercise before filling the final beat, the notation playhead used to creep ahead of the click a little more with every loop, and the empty slot got scored as a note you missed. Both fixed. Exercises you already saved that way are repaired when you open them.

NEW in 2.2 • Accents. Add accent marks to any custom sticking pattern. the Timing Trainer now listens for them, notes clean accents, and shows you the ones that you missed. • Hit distribution view. In the history for each exercises you can now see where your hits actually land around the beat, at a glance. IMPROVED • Hit detection is now way more accurate at faster tempos. FIXED • The pattern display no longer flickers on rest-heavy stickings.

MINOR FIXES Improved hit detection for exercises with alternating hands. Notes following a strong accent, like the middle note of a triplet group, are now detected much more reliably, especially at slower tempos.

FREE TEXT EXERCISES Create your own exercises with descriptions and photos. Add a sketch, notation image, or written instructions. Perfect for lessons from your teacher or grooves you want to remember. The app still remembers your BPM, so you can track your progress over time even for free text exercises. IMPROVED BLUETOOTH AUDIO SYNC Better metronome synchronization when using Bluetooth headphones, accounting for wireless audio delay more accurately. GENERAL UI POLISH Wider edge-to-edge notation rendering, share sheet always shows notation preview, improved dark mode clarity, and consistent home screen card layouts.

NEW FEATURES - Flam Detection: This one was requested a lot! You can now create custom stickings using flams! The Timing Trainer detects and scores flam articulations in sticking patterns and gives you with visual feedback during play and quality stats after each session. IMPROVED - Smarter Scoring: Timing tolerances now scale with tempo. Fast tempos are more challenging; slow tempos give you a wider window. Scoring feels fairer across the full BPM range. - Hit Detection Improvements: Updated with better results if your weak hand plays quieter PRO FEATURES - Results Histogram: After each timing session, see how your hits were distributed across early, on-time, and late zones. The shape of the histogram tells you at a glance whether you're consistently biased, tight in the center, or scattered. Missed hits are shown separately so you can track accuracy alongside timing. - Flam Quality Pie Charts: For exercises with flam articulations, see a per-hand breakdown of clean, flat, wide, and missed flams as visual pie charts. Discovery Checklist — New users get a guided "Start here" checklist on the Home screen to explore the Timing Trainer, play a song, browse the community, and create exercises.
