Figure 344. The Advanced (File) section

The Advanced section lets you specify auto-save, file versioning and other project file settings.

The Advanced section contains the following settings:

Auto-save Every “N” Minutes or “N” Changes. Choose how many minutes or edits between automatic saves.

Enable Versioning of Project (.cwp) Files. Checking this check box causes Music Creator to save successive versions of a project with the date the project was saved in the file name. The most recent version has no date in the name.

Number of versions to keep. If you enable the versioning option, you can use this field to choose how many versions to keep. When the maximum number of files is reached, the oldest file is deleted.

Load Non-Music Creator Files in Offset Mode. This option causes .smf, .mid, .rmi, .wrk and .cwb/bun files to open in Offset mode (see Envelope mode and Offset mode).

For more information about Offset mode, see Envelope mode and Offset mode.

Ask before Sending System Exclusive (When Opening Projects). If you check this option and then open a project that contains sysx data, Music Creator asks you before sending the sysx data.

On Startup Load Normal Template. This option lets you leave the Use Per-Project Audio Folders option checked, but doesn’t ask you to choose an audio folder every time you open a new project. While you record audio into the new project, the audio data is stored in the global audio folder until you save the file, at which point you can choose to create a PPA folder, or retain the audio in the Global audio folder.

Always Use Local Help. This option tells Music Creator to always use the installed version of the Help (Music_Creator_Help.chm). When this option is disabled, Music Creator will load the latest online HTML help in your default web browser.

Show Update Notifications. This option tells Music Creator to show a pop-up toast notification at the bottom of the screen if a program update is available. Your computer must have an active Internet connection, and you must be signed into Cakewalk Command Center in order to receive update notifications (see Cakewalk Command Center).
