SpeakTab 10.14.53 — Score information and returning to your place
SpeakTab 10.14.53 makes score information easy to find again without repeating it on every beat.
- Ctrl+Shift+I opens the available opening key, selected-position time signature, capo, part, tuning and tempo in read-only text. Escape returns to the same selected score row. The local user confirmed that return command works. Missing facts are identified rather than guessed; older saved readings may need their original score reopened.
- Right/Left and Alt+Shift+PageDown/PageUp remain equivalent position shortcuts. F3 collects available simultaneous and continuing notes, rests, lyrics, marks and last-written-chord context. Ctrl+Shift+0 clears the current and saved loop immediately; Ctrl+S explicitly saves a new loop.
- The Word manual now opens with the current 53 controls and return instructions, followed by the reviewed 50 reference. The updated two-page Quick Start, text/HTML alternatives and earlier 52 supplement are companion downloads beside the app ZIP and inside the source ZIP. The opening manual update supersedes older instructions where controls changed.
Download SpeakTab-Windows.zip for the complete application. Extract it into its own folder and keep the runtime, fixtures, licences and native guides together. Developers should use SpeakTab-Source.zip; GitHub-generated source archives are the repository snapshot, not the complete handoff.
The installed, tested 53 executable is published unchanged. The root release gate and all 83 focused checks passed; both packages, source manifest, documentation copies, updater compatibility and privacy checks were verified. Software checks and the user's scoped return-command report do not certify every score, screen reader, sound device or external AI service. Native embedded notes were frozen during local preparation and retain that earlier pre-publication status; this release records the later publication.
Guitar and piano sounds remain. New instruments, wordless vocal playback and eventual lyric singing are future work and are not included in 53. The app remains named SpeakTab. Private music, saved readings, settings, credentials and diagnostic dumps are excluded. Earlier published releases and their assets are preserved.
