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 ex-
tracted 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 win-
dow’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 locate
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 In-
ternet, there is a special file format for this. A Reason published song (Windows file
extension “.rps”) is much like a self-contained song, but has the following 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 if the song
has been changed in any way.
In a word, published songs are “locked”. You can edit them at will, but you cannot
save or export any changes. 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 appears, and click
Save.
D Note that you don’t have to make self-contained settings - all files (ex-
cept ReFill components) are automatically included.
