The program will show the records in Music Finder Files; ready for editing.
Please notice that
• if a record defines a style which is not found in the selected model; the record will show the style number in brackets; e.g. <3456>.
• when selecting a record the name of the corresponding style in the NetCommon style list will be shown below the style box. If not found this will show the style number in brackets; e.g. <3456>.
• converting Music Finder Files between models is rather complicated to automate as the style naming and numbering systems are somewhat in-consistent.
• records with not found styles can be deleted from the Music Finder Files when saving. Check Menu Options for setting this.
Thanks to Michael P. Bedesem for collecting most of the style data files.
