MENU AND DIALOG REFERENCE

Reason Menu (Mac OS X)
About Reason
This menu item opens up a dialog that informs you about the version of the program
and the people behind it.
Preferences
This menu item opens up the Preferences dialog. See page 268 for detailed descrip-
tions of the options in this dialog.
In addition, the Reason menu contains the standard Mac OS X services and Hide/
Show options. Please consult the Macintosh help for descriptions of these options.
Quit Reason
This allows you to quit the program. If there are any documents open with unsaved
changes you will be asked whether you want to save those changes.
File Menu
New
When you select this, a new, empty song appears. The exact contents of this song is
determined by your Preferences settings (see page 268).
Open...
To open a Song, proceed as follows:
1. Pull down the File menu and select Open.
The Reason song browser window appears.
2. Use the browser to navigate to the desired folder on disk or within a ReFill.
3. When you have located the song file, select it and click Open (or double click
on the file).
The song appears in its own document window.
✪ You can have several songs open at the same time if you like. This allows
you to copy and paste patterns and patches between songs. However, all
open songs consume some memory and performance, so you may want
to close songs you don’t need.
Close
This closes the active window.
If the window is a song document and it has unsaved changes, you will be asked
whether you want to save those changes.
Closing the last open window will quit Reason (Windows only).
Save
This saves the active song document to disk.
• If the song document hasn’t yet been saved, the Save As dialog appears, request-
ing you to enter a file name and specify a location for the file on disk.
• If the document has already been saved at least once, the document will simply be
saved without any questions.
Save As...
This saves the active song document to disc. A standard Save As dialog appears re-
questing you to enter a file name and specify a location for the file on disk.
✪ You can set things up so that any samples used in the song are included
in the song file itself by specifying self-contained settings (also on the
File menu).
