The Stuff Up Top

The menubar is basically your Swiss Army knife for makin' chord charts that don't totally suck. Let's break down each button & tool so you can figure out how this song editor thingy actually works:

Nope, Never Mind

Opened the song editor just to peek, or made a hot mess of changes you wanna ditch? Tap Cancel & bail out without savin' squat.

Trash Can of Doom

That little trash icon lets you nuke the entire song. Don't worry tho — it'll ask nicely before obliteratin' your work in case your fingers are just that clumsy.

Shove It in a Book

Toss the song into books without all that boring metadata stuff cluttering things up.

Text Shenanigans

Hunt & peck through your lyrics, swap stuff around, or totally butcher the chord format. The tools are here if you're feelin' spicy.

Metadata Nerd Zone

Fill in all the fiddly little fields so your song knows who it is & what it does. Super fun times.

Song Title

The song's name chillin' in the middle of the menubar so you don't forget what you're messin' with.

Attachments Situation (hiding)

When Song Editor's plugged into the main menubar, the Attachments Menu shows up here lettin' you pick which attachment to gawk at & tweak.

Sneak Peek Box

Toggle this lil' preview widget to watch your song render in real-time as you type. It's like magic, except it's not.

Oops, Go Back

The undo button rewinds whatever chaos you just caused in the Text Editor history. Blessed be.

Do-Over

The opposite of undo — redo throws back in all the stuff you undid from the Text Editor. You're welcome.

Transpose Into Some Other Key

Wanna move the whole song to a different key without losin' your mind? This menu's got your back.

Locked In

Hit Done & boom — all your changes get saved & the chord chart redraws itself. Magic. Or code. Same thing.
