A resting part is now shown faint

In your Jazz rap note the screen named a Country piano that was not in the sound. Auto's cards named the sound of every part that was switched on, whether Auto had it playing or resting. Now the card of a resting part goes faint, and comes back to full strength the moment the part plays.

The same song on a phone, before and after

Jazz rap, the intro of the same song, one bar apart. Auto has the track down to the drums alone: the Pad, the Arp and the Bass are resting, the Kit and the Beat are playing.

Auto's cards before: Pad, Arp and Bass named at full strength while resting
Before. Pad, Arp and Bass are named just like the Kit and the Beat. Nothing says they are resting. (The green is the light a card gets for two seconds when it changes, fading out; it is not part of this.)
Auto's cards now: Pad, Arp and Bass faint, Kit and Beat at full strength
Now. Pad, Arp and Bass are faint. Kit and Beat, which are playing, are at full strength.

Yours to judge: does faint read as "resting", and can you still read the name? The strength is one number (42 in 100) and is quick to change.

How often it happened

CardNamed a resting part, beforeNow, not faint while resting

Kit28,1640
Bass10,7330
Beat9,4720
Pad2,7070

Counted on every beat of two runs of 200 bars in each of the 62 styles (98,388 beats). It happened in all 62. On 53 beats in 100 at least one card named a part that was resting. No card went faint while its part was playing.

The drums are in it too. Your note was about a top line, but when Auto rests the drums the Kit and Beat cards named a kit and a beat that were not playing, which is the same fault. They go faint as well.

What it does and does not do

No card changes size, on a phone, an iPad or a computer, so nothing in Auto's box moves. Hold a finger or the mouse on a faint card and its tip ends "resting now". A card that changes while its part rests still lights up green, only fainter.

Not touched: a recorded track played back with Auto off. The cards are not redrawn there. After Stop a card stays as it was until you press play.

Checked on a phone at two widths, an iPad both ways and a computer, and in Safari's engine on a phone and an iPad. The pictures were taken by the check itself. Nobody has looked at them but an agent.
