The five tabs

The Start tab

The launch pad. Four ways into a song, your recent work, and the two buttons in the corner.

The Start tab is the only tab that holds nothing of its own. It exists to get you writing in one tap, and to put the thing you were last working on in front of you.

The Start tab with a greeting, four circular buttons for Write, Freestyle, Record and Concept, and a list of recent songs 123

The four ways in#

Button What it does More
Write Opens a new song, guided or blank. The song wizard
Freestyle Records straight away and turns what you sang into lyrics. Freestyle
Record Captures audio with no song attached yet. Recordings
Concept Saves an idea you are not ready to write. Concepts

The split worth understanding is between the top row and the bottom row. Write and Freestyle start a song. Record and Concept capture something smaller that can become one later.

Latest songs#

Underneath is what you touched most recently, newest first, with the opening lines of each so you can tell them apart without opening them. See All goes to the full library. See The Songs tab.

A icon beside a title means that song is shared.

The two buttons in the corner#

Button What it does
Import Takes an audio file or a text document and works out which it is. See Importing files.
Notifications What happened while you were away. A red dot means something is waiting. See Notifications.

Where to go from here#

How it fits together covers the other four tabs and, more usefully, how the things in them relate. It is the page that saves you the most time later.
