Your First Tutorial

Lesson 4

Now let's save your work. Click the SAVE button (or F11), type in hellobeep.txt, and click the Save button. Now open NotePad or any text editor of your choice, choose to open a file, navigate to the userdata folder in your installation directory, and open up the hellobeep.txt file we just created.

(Note that default userdata folder will be at following locations:)

C:\Documents and Settings\{USERNAME}\My Documents\BeepComp\userdata (XP)
C:\Users\{USERNAME}\Documents\BeepComp\userdata (Vista or later)

See? Your BeepComp source is simply a text file. And you could even continue to work on your track in your text editor if you want.

A nice thing about working with text is that you can easily copy and paste between BeepComp and other sources!

Try this - Start a new file (NEW button or F9), Go to this page, copy all the code inside the long boxed area, and press CTRL + V in BeepComp, and press F1 to play.

I hope you see how easy it is to share work with each other on the web :)

Of course, going the other way is easy, too. You can easily copy your work from BeepComp by pressing CTRL + A (select all) then CTRL + C (copy), and paste what you just copied into your external applications like your Outlook to email your music to a friend, for instance.
