Output Options

The output options menu gives you the ability to customize how files are exported including:

Filename

By default, this field is blank resulting in the default file name to be used. The appropriate file extension will be appended to the end of the name.

Files

This section handles how multiple outputted files should be handled including:

Collate

By default, individual songs are each exported as their own separate file. If you have a set with four songs, and one file format selected, then four files will be generated. If you choose As single file, the songs are exported into a single file per file format.

Compression

If you need to always send a single file attachment or export, this is a great option. All outputted files are compressed into a ZIP archive and then exported. Default is off.

Include

This section lets you choose what is included during the export process. These include:

Annotations

When exporting PDF files, this can be used to remove annotations like sticky notes from the file output. Options are on (default) and off.

Chords

This determines if chords are exported along with lyrics. Options include on (default) and off. Default is on.

Flow

Flow will expand the song content, repeating sections as directed.

Transposition

Lastly, you can determine if and how transposition is applied to the output including:

Key

This lets you determine if the original key should be used by setting transposition to Original. Alternately, you a choose Transposed to export the transposed version of the chart (default).

Capo

You can use this setting to determine if the output has a capo applied if set in the style preferences menu.
