Commands for working with selected items in The Songs Tab of a Session window.

Note: Some commands will only be available when a Song is selected and a Session window is in front.

Command
Description
Song Settings...
Opens the Song Settings dialog box, where you can set several basic Song parameters.
Song Info...
Opens the Song Info dialog box, where you can enter text information fields for the exported RMF file, such as copyright notice and performer credits.
Re-Import MIDI...
Replaces the selected Song's MIDI data from a Standard MIDI File (SMF) on disk.

Note: The Beatnik Editor only imports MIDI Files, it does not edit them directly. To edit the individual MIDI notes and other events within a Song, you'll need to use a separate MIDI sequencer program and save your work as a Standard MIDI File. When working in this way, you'll use the Re-Import MIDI command every time you make a change in the sequencer and want to update the corresponding Song in your Beatnik Editor Session document. That's the only way to make the change show up in your exported RMF file.

Play
Starts playback of the selected Song.

There's also a Play button in the Player window, and double- clicking a Song in The Songs Tab of a Session window also works.

Stop
Stops playback of the currently selected Song.

There's also a Stop button in the Player window.
