UPDATED 16 SEPTEMBER 2026 · iOS & ANDROID

What's new in ScorDial

16 September 2026 — Major update · iOS 1.3.3 / Android 1.3.3

Clean full-page view — scores and charts now open edge-to-edge with no buttons. Tap the page to show the menu; a Setlist button appears when the song belongs to a setlist.
Merge Bar — join bars so a row holds 5 (or more) bars, and short rows now stretch to fill the full width for easier reading.
New Save button in charts — stamp all your edits instantly so every share and export carries the latest version.
Fixed file handling — shared .scordial and .scoreset files now open straight in ScorDial from WhatsApp, Drive, Mail and file managers. No more raw-code previews.
Charts fit your phone — chord charts automatically re-flow for comfortable reading on smaller screens.
Setlist upgrades (iOS) — the setlist panel stays open while switching songs, song reordering is reliable, and search is bigger and clearer.
Fixed imported melodies sounding an octave too low (Android).
Plus: undo/redo now covers text moves, and key spelling improvements (F♯/G♭).

09 September 2026 update

Chord annotations on PDF pages now transfer between devices with the score.
Chords scale to the page, so they look right on any screen size — on PDF, Canvas and image documents.
Added a resize control in the chord editor for PDF, Canvas and image documents.

4 September 2026 — Major update

New Guitar Tabs input · Grids (guitar tab chords) · a big metronome for drummers · drum-pad note input straight onto a drum stave.

1 September 2026 — Editing update

Bar selection, the intervals keypad, beams and enharmonic swap — covered in the Help Center.

ScorDial keeps growing. We're building exciting upgrades that make musicians' lives easier — stay tuned.
