Move your practice points. Long-press a point, choose Move, then drag it to a new time or nudge it by a tenth of a second or a full second. Start and end points move too.
Move a point:
Until now a point stayed where you first tapped it. Now you can put it exactly where the phrase starts. Long-press any point in the list and choose Move. The slider thumb jumps to that point, and you drag it to the new time. For small corrections, the −1s, −0.1s, +0.1s and +1s buttons move it by an exact amount, and Reset returns it to where it was. While you move it, the point's row slides to its new place in the list, so you can see where it will land. Tap Write to keep the change, or Cancel to leave everything as it was.
Hear the song while you move:
Tap the speaker button while you move a point, and the song plays in short bursts that follow your finger. When you let go, you hear one second of the song from the new time, so you know you placed it right. The preview plays at your practice speed. For Apple Music songs, the preview plays after you let go.
Move the loop itself:
The start and end points move the same way. Drag the start point and the loop's range follows it. Drag the end point past the start point and the two swap places. On the delete screen, you can move a point as well: long-press it and choose Move Point, or select one point and tap the Move button.
Also in this update:
• A What's New card like this one opens after an update, so you never miss a new feature
• A point's time now shows the exact tenth of a second
• The Move Point command is translated in every language
Fixes:
• Two points can no longer share the same time
• Setting a new start or end point keeps the points you have selected to delete
• Deleting a start or end point together with its neighbour keeps your loop intact
