While playing around with the new preview, I started experimenting with the key-sensitive key labels (movable-do and scale numbers) and I've also noticed the following.
When the key labels are set to movable-do or scale numbers, if a song contains a key change, key labels for upcoming notes in the new key can start appearing on the keyboard before the point of the key change.
OS: Windows 8.1
Issue noticed in:
Synthesia 10.8.5686
Synthesia preview-10.9.5766
Video Creator 10.4.4395 *
[* I understand you're not updating the Video Creator. I just used it as a way to make a video of the issue because it also happens to have the issue. The issue happens in the current release and preview listed above.]
I made the attached example video with the Video Creator then resized it to a smaller size. I used (the extracted MIDI file for) the built-in "Major Scales > 1 Octave" exercise, which has key changes before every scale. I set the key labels and note labels to "scale numbers".
On the keyboard, notice how the 1 2 3 and 4 scale numbers for the new key appear on the keyboard in order before the point of the key change.
This is not an important feature for me, I just think it looks weird, so perhaps you might want to add it to your list of things to possibly look into fixing at some point.
