Most editing shortcuts work outside text fields; Save and Open also work from fields. Open GP/GPX, MusicXML, compressed MusicXML, or alphaTex. GP export preserves alphaTab-supported notation and playback. Proprietary RSE sounds, pedals, audio tracks, engraving and some metadata may change; keep your original file.
