🔁 Changes

• Changed "Quick Restart" hotkey to work in the Pause menu, Game Over screen and Results screen

• Changed all in-game menus to move the selection cursor automatically when holding the 'Up' or 'Down' buttons

• 'Up'/'Down' must be held for a minimum duration before auto-scroll begins

• The same auto-scroll delay also applies to all Track Select menus, resulting in a slightly longer initial delay but a much faster continued scroll rate

• Changed practice mode to allow taking damage

• Missing a monster in practice mode will decrease the HP counter as if the track was played normally

• Reaching zero HP in practice mode does not trigger a game over

• HP can be decreased past zero, indicating how close the run would have come to clearing the song in normal play

• Changed MISSed notes to show Early/Late indicators

• Requires the E/L indicator option to be enabled in the accessibility settings

• Enabling this setting also causes MISSed notes to be indicated in Practice Mode

• Reverted Vibe Chain changes from Beta v1.7.1 based on feedback from the beta build

• Food items must once again be hit in order to complete the Vibe Chain

• Wyrms must once again be fully held in order to complete the Vibe Chain

• If you've been playing on the stable branch, you shouldn't notice any difference
