FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Installation, formats, safe playback, OCR, and updates.

Does the app require installation?

No. Releases are portable ZIP archives. Extract the complete archive and run GenshinPiano.exe.

Why should I avoid Program Files?

Settings, logs, update caches, and add-ons live beside the app, while Program Files normally blocks standard-user writes.

Which score formats are supported?

You can edit .gpiano projects and import MIDI, MusicXML, and legacy .GenshinPiano scores.

Does it control the game automatically?

Only after you start playback. Keyboard input is sent only while a supported game window is in the foreground; losing focus pauses playback.

Is OCR required?

No. OCR is an optional, separately downloaded add-on.

Are update packages verified?

Yes. Packages are checked with SHA-256 and an RSA signature before installation.

How do I report a problem?

Keep the relevant files from the logs folder and open an issue on GitHub.
