What’s New
New Features and Enhancements
Music Tools can now be configured via the iPhone Settings app. The font style and size of the dictionary text can now be changed, but note the Reference Chart do not yet support this feature.
The dictionary can also be set to automatically start in search mode (i.e. with the keyboard already visible) when MusicTools starts up.
Reference links are highlighted words within a definition that when tapped, cause MusicTools to retrieve the definition for the highlighted word. Many more reference links have been added in this release.
A small number of words gave the appearance of being duplicate entries when in fact they were actually representing multiple languages of origin. To avoid any possible confusion, these words have been consolidated into single entries with pronunciations and any other language-specific differences noted within the definition.
