ScoreBreak version 5.2 focuses on the experience of taking notes on clips. In versions 5.1 and earlier, Clip Notes were restricted to Clips contained within a Playlist. With the launch of version 5.2, ScoreBreak adds the ability to add a Clip Note anywhere in the system. A new relocatable Clip Note Window provides a persistent interface in which to add notes to any selected Clip. Platform compliant hotkeys have been added to ScoreBreak on iPadOS and macOS, facilitating quick Clip Note taking workflows for professional users.
To add a Clip Note, select the new Clip Note Window button. The window can be dragged to new locations, providing a customizable note taking experience. Use command+k with connected keyboards to present the Clip Note Window.
While entering notes, the application's focus state is on the note window, during which hotkeys for interacting with the Video Player are logically disabled. To continue using Video Player hotkeys, return focus by pressing the Done button, or command+return.
These professional interaction models allow advanced users to keep their hands on the keyboard. An example workflow: load all possessions from a team, press the . key to jump to the next Clip, press command+k to call the Clip Notes Window, type a Clip Note, press command+return to return focus to the Video Player, then press . to jump to the next possession.
Clip Notes added to a Clip are visible to all Team Members. When adding Clips to a Playlist, any Clip Note on the originating Clip will be added to the Playlist Clip. Changes made to a Clip Note inside a Playlist do not affect the source Clip's note — allowing different coaches to have different Clip Notes on the same Clip in different Playlists.
ScoreBreak v5.2.7 is available for download today on the App Store and Mac App Store.
