Actual behaviour

hit tab in song editor to bring up shortcut help. read about shortcuts related to pitch recording (N, Shift-N, Alt-N)

Expected behaviour

shortcuts should work as described

Actual behaviour

they don't (and they're not defined in the source code either)

Thanks for catching this, @jose1711. This is due to the fact that the help system code and help system texts were taken from the USDX CMD (challenge, medley, duet) mod. Obviously, some of the features of the CMD did not (yet) make it into the current version of USDX. A while ago, I tried to keep track of the features of the CMD and which ones are present in the current version in #361, starting from the changelog of the main developer of the CMD mod.

Thank you for this background information. It would be interesting to see a more complete picture about USDX history, how performous or Ultrastar World Party has been forked from it etc. Is that something you can write up and put into wiki?

I have been following UltraStar pretty much from the beginning, when Corvus5, a Polish guy, set out, in 2004 I believe, to more or less clone SingStar from the PlayStation.

I already wanted to start taking notes and organizing what's in my head to write it down when I remembered that there is a pretty thorough entry on Wikipedia on UltraStar and its variants. This should be a good starting point. If you have questions, I might or might not be able to give more details...
