Hi,
I am running into some problems with Earmaster right now. I developed a course for my theory 1 students. One problem they are running into is that some of the minor scales are being improperly labeled. I am providing links to a few screenshots of what are really natural minor scales being identified as melodic minor scales. I have no idea how to fix this, as I don't think I did anything weird to the settings.

Re: Misidentified scale types in course.
Hi Liz,
If a Melodic minor scale is played and the user answers "Melodic Minor", EarMaster will accept the answer but label the good answer as Natural minor.
However, I can see that in some cases like on your screenshots, it doesn't re-label the user's (wrong) answer, but instead keeps the "Melodic Minor" label and highlight "Natural Minor" in white. That second behavior was how EarMaster worked before. It would accept your wrong answer, but show you the correct answer by highlighting it in white. That wasn't clear enough for many users, so we changed it so as to only display the correct answer (Natural minor). It looks like some rests from the old feature are still there in some cases, so we'll fix that asap.
