2 Working With Songs
Songs are the documents that hold your music and all
the changes you make. You can create and save songs,
save a song as an archive, and export a song to iTunes.
Each song has a tempo, a time signature, and a key, which last for the entire length of
the song. When you create a song, you set the tempo, time signature, and key in the
New Project dialog. You can save a song as an archive, and export a song to an iTunes
playlist.
Creating a Song
You start working in GarageBand by creating a new song.
To create a new song:
1 Choose File > New Project.
2 In the New Project dialog, browse to the location where you want to store the song,
then type a name for the song in the name field.
