Added Discord Rich Presence. Show the world what you are working on! Your current song and note count will appear on your Discord status activity for everyone to see.
If you prefer to hide your status, you can disable this option in Preferences.
Added a new theme, inspired by Microsoft's Fluent Design:
Features new fonts, icons, layouts, and much more!
Enabled by default; the previous themes are still available from the Preferences.
Comes with light and dark versions! The dark mode will be enabled automatically if you were using the Dark theme before.
Allows you to pick an accent color to be applied to various details across the interface! Click the color widget by the Theme dropdown menu to pick your favorite color.
Features sounds when navigating the interface! You can toggle them in Preferences.
Added a new piano design matching the theme. It will also respond to the dark mode! (#259)

The tempo changing controls were reworked:
Along with dragging, you can now click the tempo box to enter a precise value!
You can now right-click the tempo box to choose the tempo unit or change the tempo to a preset value.
Added a tempo tapper! Right-click the tempo box, click 'Tempo tapper', and tap the T key to set a new tempo. Useful to match the tempo of the original song if you're making a cover!
The maximum allowed tempo was increased to 60 ticks per second (three times faster than Minecraft's tick speed).
The song tempo is no longer restricted to steps of 0.25 ticks per second.
Added popup hints to guide you through the new tempo controls.

F7 to change the max framerate
Ctrl + P to open/close Preferences
Ctrl + '+' to increase the window scale
Ctrl + '-' to decrease the window scale
Ctrl + 0 to reset the window scale
Alt + Enter to toggle fullscreen (for the window, not the workspace!)

Improves performance on older PCs.
Schematics can now be saved to the structure block format (.nbt), compatible with 1.13 and above.
