TabView and Tablatures on Mountain Lion

On Filed under Tablatures, Tablatures, TabView, TabView 2 Comments

People are reporting that MIDI playback doesn’t work since they updated their system to Mountain Lion.

It appears to be due to a strange conflict between HIDRemote (the code used to support the Apple Remote) and Mountain Lion’s sandbox (which restricts what applications can do). Actually, it seems that sandboxed apps have no way to support the Apple Remote right now.

A new version of both apps has already been submitted to the Mac App Store, quite some time ago. They are currently being reviewed by Apple and will be available as soon as they publish them.

UPDATE: this appears to be worse than that, it looks like it’s an actual bug in Mountain Lion that affects sandboxed applications (ie. everything you might find on the Mac App Store). I’m getting in touch with Apple’s engineers to see if there’s a way to workaround it, or if the only thing to do is to wait for a new 10.8.x release (10.8.1 doesn’t fix it).

Tablatures 2.0 moves to the Mac App Store

On Filed under Tablatures 2 Comments

Tablatures 2.0 has just been released, exclusively on the Mac App Store.

Starting with this version, Tablatures requires an Intel Mac with OS X 10.6.6 or later. Apart from fixing a few minor bugs, Tablatures 2.0 adds support for 64-bit systems and supports document versioning on Lion.

Version 1.41 will remain available for those who cannot (or wish not to) access the Mac App Store, but it won’t be upgradeable.

On Filed under Tablatures

A new release of Tablatures is now available.

This version brings the following improvements:

  • When editing a chord name, a double click on a row of the Cached Chords Names table will be enough to select the chord and confirm it.
  • Added a keyboard shortcut to insert a double bar: F
  • MIDI playback: play legato slides without striking the second note.
