When you opened this document, the computer transferred the song from the hard disk into its memory; at this moment, all the changes you’ve made to “Simple Gifts” exist only on the screen. If someone trips on the computer’s power cord at this moment, all of your work will be lost, and you’ll be left with the original, incomplete “Tutorial 1a” document.
For this reason, it’s a good idea to save your work back onto the disk at regular intervals—perhaps every 15 minutes or so. To save your work on the disk:
-S (Mac: 
-S). Your changes have now been saved on the hard disk.
(You still have a fresh, untouched copy of this document, however; it’s
on your original Finale disc.If you’re afraid you might forget to save your work and run the risk of losing some of your changes in the event of a power or system failure, consider using Finale’s automatic backup feature. See the User Manual under Program Options-Save.
