Folders in MasterWriter?

Post by kevinmathie » Wed Jan 28, 2009 12:54 pm

Hi all!I'm new to MasterWriter (having got it at the Taxi Rally). So, I don't have a hard copy, and, consequently, I have no user manual. Nor does the online help work.So, I need to know: Can I create folders to organize my songs in the Song List section? I'm doing a project right now that will involve creating about a dozen songs, and they're all going to one client. I'd love to be able to create a folder that will hold all of those songs in one place.Thanks!kevin

You can, however, organize your songs by associating a category with them. The rightmost column of the song list displays the category. You can customize the category names (they are simply numbered by default).Hope this helps.Steve

Whether they're in folders or not, at least they're somewhat organized so I'm not dealing with a bunch of songs scattered about. Thanks!
