New version 1.5.8 → 1.5.9

I've improved Apple Pencil support for melody input, along with some general fixes. One heads-up: with Scribble enabled, you might still run into some unwanted behavior — specifically, when tapping items quickly, the second tap might not register. For the smoothest experience, I'd recommend disabling Scribble. I also fixed a rare bug where the app didn't respond, and sorted out an uncommon issue where the app could drain battery while running in the background. The app is updated regularly. Suggestions?
