Soundslice retina test
Hey, I'm trying to test this page on as many hi-DPI (aka "retina") devices
as possible:
http://www.soundslice.com/scores/auld-lang-syne/?retina
Can you take a look and let me know whether everything looks good and whether
it's any more sluggish than the non-retina version? Also let me know your
devicePixelRatio, which you can get from http://www.devicepixelratio.com/ --
if your ratio is something other than 1 or 2 (e.g., 1.5), I'm particularly
interested.
Ideally the music notation will be nice and sharp. Here's the non-retina
version for comparison (which is blurry on retina devices):

If you chip in with a test, let me know which browser/OS you're on. Thanks
for any help!

On a Early 2013 MacBook Pro, devicePixelRatio=2, running OS X 10.9.4, on Safari 7.0.5 and Chrome 36.0.1985.125

I can see some very minor pixellation on the ties, and some slight blur in the uprights on the tempo indicator. Otherwise looks good to me. No obvious lag in the interface.

Mac OS X 10.9.3, 2 month old 13" MBP
Safari Version 7.0.3 (9537.75.14)
Chrome 36.0.1985.125
Firefox 31.0

device pixel ration 2

Retina noticeably sharper and clearer on all browsers
network is slow (1.5Mbps), but not really noticeable difference in download times (I'm used to relatively slow loading sites)

Looks good to me, and the blurry looked blurry.

Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013, devicePixelRatio=2, running OS X 10.9.4, Safari Version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4). Retina version is much crisper. Did not notice any slowdowns between the two versions.

Nice.

Nexus 5, Chrome 36.0.1985.131 (latest)
Looks and works very well. Clear, can see no behavioral differences between retina and non-retina. No slow-downs, etc. Very nice. (3.0 device pixel ratio)

Works great on Moto X Chrome. No noticeable slowdowns or other degradations between versions.

Tested on my Nexus 5 phone with Chrome 36.0.1985.131.

Playback works perfectly. Audio is clear and the sheet music/tabs are crisp and beautiful! Soundslice is looking better and better every day :)

However, I found a scrolling bug when trying to pause the music and scrolling back up. It seems to just reset scroll to the top of your current frame and you can't go up to the beginning of the page. Scrolling down seems okay, but it is jittery and doesn't capture typical scroll behavior on Android.

Hope this helps! @jessevondoom, could you double check and reconfirm that this isn't just happening to me? Seems like we are on the same hardware.

edit: fyi Adrian, the Nexus 5 pixel ratio is 3.0

Looks good on new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0.

Also, no scrolling issues like I saw people having on Twitter. I'm using the default "Internet" browser.
