v0.5.2

We'''re happy to announce the availability of Gloopy 0.5.2.

Added

• Keyboard shortcuts for transport, recording, and clip editing. The playhead and common
  edits are now on the keyboard: Home/End jump to the start/end and < / > step a bar (hold
  Shift for a beat); R (or F9) starts/stops recording and Shift+R arms the selected track;
  Cmd/Ctrl+L toggles the loop and Cmd/Ctrl+M the metronome; Cmd/Ctrl+D / C / X / V / E duplicate,
  copy, cut, paste (at the playhead) and split the selected clip; and Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+S is Save As.
  Press ? for the full, grouped list.
• DrumKits in the composition format. Composition folders (and .gloopy archives) can now
  represent a multi-pad DrumKit track — type = "drumkit" with one [[generator.pad]] per
  voice, each referencing its sample under assets/, so the kit stays human-readable and
  self-contained. The bundled sample demos (demo-song, demo-song-surge, demo-synthwave,
  demo-lofi, demo-nocturne) now ship their drums as a single DrumKit track (kick/snare/hat/clap
  on one set of step-editor lanes) instead of one sampler track per voice.
• Mid-song time-signature changes. A piece is no longer locked to one meter: right-click the
  arrangement ruler to add a time-signature change at a bar (or set the initial, bar-1
  signature), e.g. a 4/4 verse into a 6/8 bridge. The bar ruler renumbers and re-spaces its
  barlines from the change onward, the metronome accents the new downbeats, and the
  bar . beat . tick readout follows. Changes are stored in the project (timesig.toml) and are
  undoable. Because clips and notes are positioned in beats, inserting a change never moves
  existing material — only the barlines drawn over it.
