Opening files

To open files from other MakeMusic products

  1. Choose File > Open.
  2. Navigate to the file. Double-click on the file. NotePad opens and converts the other version’s document with a different name than the original file, keeping the older document as a backup. If you want to save the file using the same name, choose Save As from the File menu.

If the file uses an alternative music font not found on your system, NotePad will substitute Maestro.

Items created with tools not found in NotePad cannot be edited, such as guitar chord symbols, staff names, custom noteheads, etc.

Some items will display handles for placement or deletion, but cannot be edited, such as repeat text.

To open a MIDI File, see MIDI Files.
