1.14

• The mini player progress bar can be dragged or clicked to seek on an Apple TV, a HomePod, This Mac, or a Pilot. The time you are choosing shows while you drag, and the seek is sent when you let go. The playhead stays on that time until the player catches up, including the AirPlay delay from 1.11. Seek stays free.
• Lyrics debug mode adds a Fix timing checkbox next to the lyrics title. It starts off and is not remembered. Clicking a line changes its time only while the box is checked.
• Timing corrections are saved as .lrc files in a lyrics fix folder, ~/Music/lyrics-fix unless you choose another. The folder is created the first time a correction is saved. Lookup uses that folder first, then ~/Music/hunter, then the cache, then online. A lyric that came from a file keeps that file's name. Clear lyrics cache and Reset leave the fix folder alone. Reset timing deletes only the current song's fix file, after you confirm. Older corrections in ~/Music/lyrics/timing-overrides.json are copied into the fix folder and that file is no longer used. ~/Music/hunter is still only read.

1.13

• A Debug build is Nunc Sonat Dev, bundle id app.nuncsonat.mac.dev. It keeps its own keychain item (app.nuncsonat.credentials.dev) and its own preferences, and it does not take over or reset the release app. The build copies it to ~/Library/Developer/NuncSonat/Debug/NuncSonat.app, and that is the only path it will run from. A copy in /tmp, on a disk image, or in DerivedData quits before it opens the keychain. The release app stays app.nuncsonat.mac and Nunc Sonat.

1.12

• When macOS blocks Local Network access, the mini player and the menu explain how to fix it, and a notification appears once. The steps are: quit Nunc Sonat, turn off every Nunc Sonat row under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network (old copies may be listed), reopen Nunc Sonat from Applications and click Allow, and restart the Mac if no prompt appears. Open Local Network Settings and Quit are on the message. A speaker that is simply offline, or a connection that times out, does not show it.

1.11

• The mini player, the menu, and the lyrics follow the song the speakers are playing. An Apple TV that is AirPlaying to a HomePod or other receiver reports the timeline it has already handed to AirPlay, a couple of seconds ahead of the room. The playhead and the title now wait out that buffer, including a latency the receiver includes in its device info.
• Settings → Lyrics has Lyrics debug mode, off unless you turn it on. The mini player then shows elapsed and total in the upper left, and each lyric line shows its timestamp. Clicking a line while the song is playing sets that line to the time you hear. The correction is saved in the lyrics cache and used the next time that song loads. Reset timing drops the correction for the current song. Clear lyrics cache removes every correction. Reset Nunc Sonat still leaves the lyrics cache, and ~/Music/hunter is still only read.
