We have heard about bugs and various issues over the past 12 hours thanks you! Your feedback is so very appreciated.
As the programmer on our team, I couldn't help but feel personally responsible and so I went ahead and fixed every issue I could find. I also implemented some extra polish in places where it felt necessary.
This patch is kind of like a large hotfix more than anything so you can still expect another update very soon with more content related additions!
This update shouldn't affect any previously saved games!

Balancing
- Nerfed instrument skill growth rate

Polishing

- Contracts now show '[complete]' next to tasks you've finished
- Contract failure at the final publishing prompt will now show you how long the cooldown is for that contract label and the fine amount
- Added tooltips to the contract finalization prompt, if you put your mouse over 'Publish' the game will tell you what needs to be changed for the album to be published
- Added tooltips to the band management 'Fire' button, it now will tell you how much you must pay a band member before firing them
