Blockhead v0.46.0 alpha
Added 2025-08-19 11:06:02 +0000 UTCUpdate Notes
Quick video explaining the new snapping options: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACKStcZevpY
Feature: Enhanced snapping options (Cursor, envelope points, and warp markers)
Right-click on the Snap button on the right-hand sidebar to open additional snapping settings.
Toggle cursor snapping on and off with Ctrl+P (Command+P on macOS).
If cursor snapping is turned on, the following operations will now snap to the nearest snapping point:
The block brush (B)
Slicing (S)
Moving the playhead (X) or starting playback from a position (Tab)
Granular scrubbing (hold tab)
Note that currently the only snapping points are:
The edges of blocks.
Tempo guide points.
The workspace's invisible 'zero point' if there is no song start configured.
The right-hand edge of the macro, if currently inside a macro.
Envelope points and warp markers are not currently considered snapping points themselves (i.e. you can snap them, but not snap to them)
Feature: "Halve Tempo" and "Double Tempo" operations added to the tempo guide block context menu.
Update: Option to filter out any files starting with a dot ('.') character added to the file browser context menu.
Update: The toggle button to show only supported file types was removed and made into a file browser context menu item instead.
Bugfix: Possible crash when convertin a meta block to a tempo guide if the song is currently looping inside the meta block's region.
Bugfix: Likely crash at some point if a macro contains a manipulator.
Bugfix: Creating blocks from quickfind doesn't work without a brushed region.
Bugfix: "Song Start" option missing from start block context menu.
Bugfix: [MacOS] Crash if Page-Up is pressed.
Bugfix: [MacOS] Streaming audio files from the file browser doesn't work.
