Note 1.1.1
Fixes
- Ableton Live: Addressed an issue in which Ableton Live incorrectly displayed a notification stating, "This document is in a new file format version. The document will sound different from when it was last saved." This erroneous message was due to incorrect metadata written by Note. There is no need to update Live, contrary to what the message suggests. To prevent this message from appearing again, affected sets need to be re-saved using this updated version.
