Sometimes you may want to keep an ordered list of songs in a collection, where the playback of each song continues after the previous song.  Such a collection of songs is called a playlist in Composer.

 

The most obvious use of a playlist is for listening enjoyment, to listen to several songs-- perhaps ones you have arranged yourself-- in sequence.

 

Another use of a playlist is to play different parts of a larger musical piece, where each part is kept in a separate Notation .not file.  These might be movements of a sonata or orchestral piece.  Or, they might be numbers of a simple suite of children's music.

 

The following screen shot shows the first song ("Minuet") in the playlist playing.  The next song ("RhapsodyInBlue") will play immediately after the first song completes.
