Thanks, Ben. I wondered why I was singing so fast at a setting of 100bpm.

The BPM setting in Preferences has no effect on the metronome rate in MixPad 3.98 iOS on iPad 2. Am I missing some step in applying the setting to the current project? It seems to be running at a rate of about 120 bpm in 4/4 time. Is it that this is the free version and the controls have no effect until upgraded? I cannot find any feature comparison between the free and paid versions to identify the differences; that would be helpful.

Thanks for the follow-up.

I was missing something, not having used iTunes File Sharing very much in the past. I was using drag'n'drop which works for the top level files but not folders. Way off the screen and only accessible by scrolling to the very bottom is the "Save to..." button which does copy the selected files and folders. So my memory-starved 16GB iPad 2 does not have to store everything I make with MixPad. What a relief!

iPad 2 iOS 9 MixPad Help requests "could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection." Is that something the user has to (or can) fix?

How do you transfer a project between iOS 9 iPad 2 and Windows 10 PC? Through iTunes File Sharing, I can copy the .mpdp file okay but not the corresponding .ProjectData folder from my iPad 2 to my Windows computer. And the folder does not open in iTunes to get its contents. I see the Windows app supports DropBox but I don't see any such support in the iOS app. Am I missing something? Both of these are the free versions.

Maybe I just had finger problems. When I first changed the key signature after a double bar, it rippled back to the beginning. I redid the procedure and this time the two different keys are where they should be. The Help system is silent on this subject.

How does one change key within the score without affecting everything prior, e.g., 1st half in C Major and second half in something else?

Maybe by signing up for the newsletter. Look in the Help menu. Also Check for Update prompts to sign up for the newsletter.

I'm now on version 1.42 and my problem was actually (or partially) my own fault. I was using the Tie as a Slur - there is a separate control for that. However, there was a bug with ties across bars causing extraneous output that has been fixed. Thanks to Stephen Wheeler for his prompt follow up to my fallacious bug report, for straightening me out on slurs vs ties (I am not a musician either so that does not help) and for the quick fix of the tie bug. This version now more accurately depicts what is played out and exported to MIDI.

Is it something I am doing wrong as I build up a score that results in extraneous notes in the midi output? Nobody else seems to have reported a problem of this sort. The score looks and plays fine but the output is clearly corrupted as is evidenced when played on other midi players and when re-imported to a new score.
