Projects

A project is a folder for related songs. It holds the songs, the setlists that put those songs in show order, and the songs you mark as templates. Many players make one project for each band, act or show.

Home

When no song is open, the app shows Home.

• The left side lists your Projects. Use New Project to make one, and Search projects to find one.
• The right side shows the project you select. It has a New Song button, a CONTINUE card that opens the song you used last, and the ALL SONGS list.
• Click a song to open it.

The first time you start the app, Home says Welcome to Looper Studio and offers New Project.

To go back to Home from a song, click the ← arrow at the left of the title bar. Its tooltip is Back to projects. If the song has unsaved changes, the app saves it first.

What a project holds

Each project row and song row on Home has a ⋯ menu. Use it to rename, duplicate or delete the project or song.

Other ways to open a song

• Songs tab. With a song open, the sidebar's Songs tab lists the songs in the same project. Double-click a song to open it.
• File → Open Recent. This menu lists the songs you used last, one for each project. It works on Home and while a song is open. Clear Recent, at the end of the menu, empties the list.

When you open another song from the Songs tab, Open Recent or a setlist, the app saves the open song first if it has changes.

Where the files live

Each project is a folder under one library folder.

Inside a project, the folders look like this:

Projects/
  Sunset Set/
    Sunset Set.lsproj
    songs/
      Midnight Drive/
        Midnight Drive.lssong
        audio/
      Coastal Lights/
        Coastal Lights.lssong
        audio/
    setlists/
      Friday.lslist

Each song is a folder with its song file and an audio folder for its recordings and takes.
