MENU AND DIALOG REFERENCE

Song Information...
This brings up a dialog that allows you to add contact information, comments
about the song, etc. Furthermore, if you save a published version of the song in
the Reason Song Archive on the Propellerhead web site, vital information can
automatically be extracted by the web archive engine, and displayed with the
song file.
The dialog contains the following items:
Text in Window Title
The text you add here will be displayed directly after the file name in the song
window’s title bar.
More Information
This is where you add notes and comments about the song.
Song Splash
Allows you to add a picture to the song. If the “Show splash on song open”
checkbox is ticked, the picture will be displayed when the song is opened.
To add a splash picture, click the folder button at the upper right corner, and lo-
cate and open the picture file in the file dialog that appears.
! Splash pictures must be JPEG files (Windows extension “.jpg”) with
a size of 256 x 256 pixels.
To remove the splash picture from the song, click the cross button.
Author’s Web Page
Allows you to specify your web site. The user can go directly to your site by
clicking the Browser button to the right (provided there is a working Internet
connection).
Author’s Email
This is where you specify your E-mail address, if you want other Reason users to
send you their comments, etc.
Publish Song...
If you want to make your songs available to the public, e.g. for downloading on
the Internet, there is a special file format for this. A Reason published song (Win-
dows file extension “.rps”) is much like a self-contained song, but has the follow-
ing restrictions:
• The user cannot save any changes to the song.
• Copy, Cut and Paste is disabled.
• It is not possible to use the function Export Song/Loop as Audio File.
In a word, published songs are “locked”. They are meant for playback only - no
elements can be added, removed or extracted. Furthermore, a published song
contains information about which ReFills are required (if any).
To create a published song, pull down the File menu and select Publish Song.
Specify a name and location for the published song in the file dialog that ap-
pears, and click Save.
D Note that you don’t have to make self-contained settings - all files
(except ReFill components) are automatically included.
