Open song… is used to open an existing song.
Open Filtered by Style lists only the songs in a folder with current style.
Open Song with Melody lists only the songs in a folder with melodies (*.mg?).
Open Favorite Songs opens the dialog listing the last 150 songs played.
Open Song by Title opens the Song List with the full title, file name, and style of each song in the folder. A “Find”
function allows you to search the title list for a word or phrase to find a title quickly. For example, type in “Old
folks” and the search will find the song title “Old Folks at Home,” plus any other songs with “Old folks” in the title.
Import Chords from MIDI File uses the MIDI file chord wizard to interpret chords from any MIDI file, and also
read tracks to the Melody and Soloist tracks.
(re)-make Song Titles list makes the list of song titles for the current folder. It can be used to update the list when
new songs are added to a folder.
Save saves an existing song to the same folder with the same file name.
Save song As… saves songs using the file dialog to name the file and choose a folder for the saved file.
