Re: Composer unpredictable and won't save
Howdy,
Quote:
What kind of combinations of notes/rests are you seeing that you didn't intend? (eg. "trying to enter a dotted quarter note, but get a quarter note tied to an 8th note") Quote:
If you want to make changes and save them as a .mid file, or replace the original .mid file you started with, then you'll need to use "File/Export..as MIDI". The reason for this procedure is that while Composer (and Musician) can open .mid files, many of the things that are done to them to make a nice score (such as titles, Free Text, performance markings, etc.) are not stored in a .mid file. Someone who opened a .mid file, made those sorts of changes, and then attempted to save their work in a .mid file would lose all their work. So, my guess is that you have not lost your work, it's just in a .not file rather than the .mid file. Most likely the .not file that has your work in it has the same name as the .mid file you started out with. If you haven't made your own "custom" folders to put your songs in, then if you're using XP, please take a look in C:\Program Files\Notation\Songs and see if you see your songs in that folder. If you're using Vista or Windows 7, then the Songs folder should be in c:\users\YOURNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\Notation\Son gs Or you can just take a look on your opening screen. You'll see the last few songs you've worked on in the file list. You should see the filename, and whether it is a .not or .mid file, and the file path (the folder where you can find that song.) If the above information doesn't help figure out the "where did my work go?" question, please let me know. Also let me know about what is happening with the composition process. We want the software to work right for you, and it should be easy. If there's a way to improve it, then we want to do that ttfn, Sherry
