Possible next features …​ or just a bunch of ideas

  • ❏ harmonize handling of pianoview parameters in preferences (currently in PianoView and PianoFragment)

  • ❏ grey out or hide notes which cannot be played due to missing sound file

  • ❏ add some open source synth to tonality in order to play more than audio files

  • ❏ improve scale selection with custom dialog and scale grouping

  • ❏ add MIDI keyboard support via USB on the go

  • ❏ add metronome to piano view

  • ❏ automate screenshot generation combined with espresso UI testing
