Thank you! I'll be testing this version with a few modules where I noticed the synchronization problem.
By the way, why was the frame editor's font changed? Would it be possible to make it customizable too?

Upon displaying the Module Properties window, the cursor is immediately placed in [2A03] Pulse 1, Frame 0x00, Row 0x00. I am unsure as to whether or not this is intended behaviour.

It didn't do that in 0.4.6, so I'd call it a bug. However, I could see it being intentional if clicking on a song from Module Properties changes which one gets displayed in the UI, but 0.4.6 didn't do that either, so ... dunno.

It's quite odd to see jsr bluntly ignoring HertzDevil's important findings is not very cool.
I mean, have you considered HertzDevil's hard work for once? I mean, he wanted the newest NSF Driver and didnt want to wait for so long, so he spent a few hours reverse enginnering the NSF Driver by himself.
I know you hate HertzDevil jsr, but maybe you should consider forgiving him and start anew and listen to what he finds, it may improve Vanilla FamiTracker much more.

There has been a couple of GUI related changes, all of them was to make the application more compatible with high DPI modes. The font in particular was changed because the other one didn't scale well. I can make it customizable if you wish.

That's because the pattern editor now will switch to the selected song in the song list. Opening the window will select the currently selected song (which moves the cursor back to the top), that should be easy to prevent if you find it annoying.
8BitZtunerYT: I don't mind forgiving people but that's on the condition that some kind of improvement can be expected (this is completely off-topic in this thread however). I can assure you that I don't ignore stuff I find of value though.

I personally preferred the old font, and making it customizable would be nice too, but I completely understand why it was changed. If it's for compatibility reasons, then it's more than welcome.

Trying to use the edit function for DPCM samples crashes FamiTracker. I added the .dmp if you need it even though the crash is easy to do.

The NSF DatAdam - 700 Main St 0.5 Beta fails to compile correctly, the notes have switched places in the 2A03, the 5B is unaffected, the FTM sounds fine.
The StarTropics Cover I did (attached) sounds fine in both NSF and FTM.
Did I screw up something or is it really some kind of weird bug?

Found this in exported NSFs: Since 0.5.0 beta 3, FamiTracker writes the 1-channel N163 frequency table to the NSF when the 5B is present, so the 2A03 channels look up the frequency values from that table, rather than period values. This is an issue from the tracker side (not from the NSF driver side); either paste the 5B's period table to where the 2A03 expects its table (in the glitched NSF above, from $209F-$215E to $1F1F-$1FDE), or use beta 1 / 2 while exporting from 5B FTMs.
Note that the 2A03 and 5B period tables are identical, so a separate table should not be required in the NSF driver in the same way MMC5 and VRC6 pulses do not.

I assume Hertz' report above describes what's causing this problem, and that it's the same problem as 8BitZtunerYT's: The 2A03 triangle+pulse pitches are broken on .nsf export... only when the 5B is enabled as an expansion.
