Rhythm Writer launches, plus ear-trainer and reference fixes
NewRhythm Writer — tap in your own rhythm and watch it turn into real notation, complete with proper beaming, leading rests when you don't start on beat 1, a metronome that keeps ticking through recording and playback, and 4 selectable metronome/rhythm sounds with independent volume controls. Now marked Ready.
NewChord Ear Trainer gained three more voicing modes — Arpeggiated Down, Random Order, and Arp Up + Block — plus a Custom difficulty level for picking exactly which chord qualities to drill.
FixedRhythm Dictation's notation was clipped to a single measure and cramped — both measures now display at roughly double size with tighter, more legible spacing.
ImprovedRhythm Dictation's tap input now also accepts the "T" key (in addition to Space), since trackpad clicks introduced noticeable timing lag.
ImprovedPiano Chord Visualizer's keyboard and note pills now use the same root/3rd/5th color legend as Triad Navigator, instead of a single generic highlight color.
FixedScale Reference's piano tonic key is now a solid, clearly-marked blue to match the guitar fretboard's root dot, and scale-highlighted black keys got a thin outline so they read clearly against the dark key color.

Toolkit-wide brand refresh

FixedChromatic Tuner's primary accent now uses the real Cedarstone lime instead of a generic green, with a glossy gradient finish on the Start button and slider.

Triad Navigator launches
NewTriad Navigator — learn every triad across all 4 string sets and 3 inversions, with scale degrees, real fingerings, and a full fretboard map.
FixedCorrected fret-diagram alignment so labeled fret numbers always match the actual dot position.
ImprovedRebuilt fingerings around real one-finger-per-fret technique, and fixed shapes that were stretching further than a hand can reach.

Tuner accuracy overhaul
FixedChromatic Tuner wasn't detecting pitch at all on some real guitar signals — replaced the pitch-detection algorithm entirely (now using YIN) for accurate, stable readings.
ImprovedWidened the tuner's analysis window for better accuracy on low strings, and moved Chromatic to the default starting preset.
ImprovedSmoother, more sensitive readings on Pitch Matcher.
NewChromatic Tuner and Rhythm Loop Player marked Ready for daily use.

Keyboard, chords, and practice-mode improvements
FixedAdded the missing black keys to Keyboard Note Trainer and Sight Reading — Piano, plus a middle-C marker on both.
FixedRebuilt Guitar Chord Finder's voicings so every shape transposes correctly, and corrected finger-dot placement on open and position-window chords.
NewPitch Matcher gained an optional reference tone and octave-tolerant matching.
NewRhythm Dictation now counts off with a metronome click before each pattern.
ImprovedFixed the tuner reading consistently sharp by locking onto the true pitch-correlation peak.
