Debra Midi Player 1.2.1

Patch release after 1.2.0: Piano Academy polish, practice label UX, portable update ZIP fix, header pin, keyboard layout presets, and playback fixes.

Piano Academy

  • Hand colors: left hand blue, right hand green (overlay legend, hand diagram, falling notes, and hand preview on the keyboard).
  • Exercises: falling notes show finger number (center) and note name (bottom anchor) together.
  • Class songs (BB-S01–S03): same dual labels; fingers inferred from pitch; notes colored by hand range (below middle C = left/blue, middle C and up = right/green).
  • Keyboard in Academy: note names only (Do–Ré–Mi, C–D–E, or PC keys) — no finger numbers on keys.

Practice labels (falling notes + keyboard strip)

  • Anchor note labels at the bottom of falling notes: +10 px taller, text vertically centered, matching rounded bottom edge.
  • Black-key sharps on two rows on falling notes and on the keyboard strip (e.g. Fa + ♯, C4 + ♯) so narrow keys are not truncated.
  • English (C–D–E): black keys on the full 88-key piano show the note + sharp row again (were blank in 1.2.0).

Header & window

  • Pin chip in the header — toggle always on top (saved in settings).
  • Header version label reads from the running DebraMidiPlayer.exe file version (fixes stale v1.1.5 showing after a 1.2.x install).
  • Improved header contrast and layout (version/subtitle readability, pin control no longer clipped).

Playback fixes

  • Library / playlist playback: removed double audio (game keys + built-in synth playing at the same time outside Practice). Practice preview sound still works when enabled in Practice settings.

Keyboard layout presets

  • QWERTY / QWERTZ / AZERTY presets in Settings and the key layout editor.
  • Apply a preset from the editor; layout is saved and restored on next launch.

Portable & updates (important fix)

  • v1.2.0 GitHub ZIP was wrong: files were inside release\portable\ (and some installs got nested Assets\Assets\). Extract did not overwrite in place.
  • v1.2.1 ZIP is flat: DebraMidiPlayer.exe, Assets\, and discord-catalogue.json at the archive root.
  • How to update: close Debra → extract over your existing folder (overwrite files) → run DebraMidiPlayer.exe.
  • Release scripts now verify exe version matches csproj and reject nested ZIP layouts before publish.

Install / update

  1. On v1.1.2+: use the header Update button (after Discord manifest points to 1.2.1), or download DebraMidiPlayer-1.2.1-portable.zip from GitHub.
  2. Close Debra. Extract over your portable folder — same level as your current DebraMidiPlayer.exe, not into a new subfolder.
  3. Run DebraMidiPlayer.exe. Header should show v1.2.1. Users on 1.2.0 (or older) will see the Update button once the manifest is published.
