This is just the promised fix for the bugs in 3.3.6.

For the next release, I am working on automatically detecting the pitch of the note depending where on the staff it is dropped. This was always on the wish list, but had to wait until drag and drop was properly implemented.

I also hope to add a lot more items to the toolbox, or even more toolboxes.

Please let me know your wish lists (But still can't provide Linux or MAC versions - sorry)

Should I concentrate next on

a) More and better editing facilities
b) Improved score, including more musical symbols
c) More playback flexibility - providing lots more note styles
d) Any other ideas that you may have

Hi, I downloaded the update a few days ago.

It works very good - except for one annoying thing:
the toolbox.

It does not - as expected - stay on top of the Harmony program (only).
It stays on top of almost everything.
I.e. if I change to the browser (fullscreen), I have the harmony toolbox on top of my browser.

The only thing I found so far that goes on top of the toolbox is the Windows Task Manager.

I know I can hide it manually but that's annoying ...

cu,
MudGuard

Hi Mudguard,
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into whether this can be fixed. I don't know whether the Windows API will allow 'stay on top but only in this program'.

I am still testing 3.3.8, which will give 'mouseover' type indication as you move the mouse over each note. This will help to position the Drop more accurately when dragging.

3.3.8 will detect the pitch of a note by where on the staff you drop it, and will allow you to drag and drop more attributes onto notes.
I have also fixed a number of minor problems with the score display, and added key signatures to the toolbox.
