What’s new
Version 26.06.18 · Updated June 18, 2026
What’s New In Bass Line Composer The app has been rebuilt around a faster, more reliable writing and playback experience for marching bass line composers. Recent updates improve audio stability, notation flexibility, MusicXML export accuracy, document handling, and the overall editor workflow. Native Playback Engine Playback now uses a more robust native audio path designed for tighter timing, smoother start/stop behavior, and better reliability during rapid playback changes. Practice mode volume balancing, section muting, and loop playback have all been refined to make rehearsing individual parts feel more natural. Practice Mode Practice Mode lets you spotlight one section or bass drum while reducing the volume of the rest of the ensemble. It now includes a clear on-screen indicator and can be turned off directly from the editor. Improved MusicXML Export MusicXML export is more accurate for complex subdivisions, chords, rests, and unusual rhythmic divisions. Better Document Workflow The home screen and document browser experience have been refined with clearer branding, improved legibility, recent-file access, and build-specific titles for Ensemble and Bassline. Saving, closing, and reopening files now better preserves app state without carrying over temporary playback or practice-mode settings.
