Medley

A medley is usually understood to mean a succession of a number of separate pieces of music. Often the individual pieces of music are shortened for this purpose, put in an appropriate key and, if necessary, glued together with a few adjustments (extra bars, interludes, etc.).

When you want to create a medley:

• open the first piece of music and save it under a new name: medley-1;
• do the same with the other piece of music; call that medley-2;
• then adjust medley-1 and medley-2 as desired (trim, intro, outtro, time signature, key, order, end bar) and save the adjusted parts;
• open medley-2 and select all with <ctrl-A> use the (or <ctrl-C>) to copy the music keep it on the notepad;
• open medley-1, go on the notation bar to the end of the first part and paste the previously saved music there with the paste button or <ctrl-V>;
• now save medley-1 as medley;
• both parts can now be provided with their own section headings.
