Music Playing Octave Timing Issue

[rye130]

I understand the need for the delay in when the note is played and you get used to it after a while. The one thing that makes playing the instruments feel really clunky and miserable is the control and shift keys to switch octaves. When playing quicker rhythms often times it doesn't register that you have pressed/released one of the octave modifying keys in time and so plays a note of the wrong octave. If there is anyway you can somehow fix this timing issue it'd be greatly appreciated.

I kind of agree. Will look at it.

We agree that the controls are somewhat awkward, but disagree with your analysis of why. Rather than a timing issue in the software controls as such, we believe that it is more a timing issue in the hardware controls.

Within the scope of how the controls presently work -- something that could perhaps be improved -- we do, thus, not consider this a bug.

Sometimes music bugs a lot

Thank you for that extremely useful report, shubla. Will fix immediately.

Could the software be changed to cope with hardware control issues? For example, slightly delay when the octave of the note is decided from the time when the note is pressed (check if shift/control is down slightly after the time the the note(zsxdc etc.) is pressed).
