piano-trainer's Issues

Support other keyboard layouts

Currently, it only supports QWERTY. It could detect the keyboard layout and assign keys.

Prompt for a new scale or chord upon completion of scale or chord

This app is great! It would be even better if I could toggle an option to suggest another random chord or scale after completing the currently selected one.

[Bug] Some MIDI keyboards might not work

• MIDI keyboard isn't tracking notes

Internationalization

Hi!

Thank you for Piano Trainer, this is really nice! Have you planned to support translation of the interface, especially notes?

Regards

Tauri dev in local fails to compile

While running the tauri dev command, this error related to midir pops up -

This seems to be an issue with midir 0.7.0, it needs to be updated to 0.8.0

Option to practice certain common chord patterns within a scale (for example I-IV-V), etc

I admire this application and I've found it immensely helpful with my keyboard training.

It would be great if it had support to practice certain common chord patterns like (I-IV-V) or even have them be customizable.
