Toolbar

Entire toolbar

The toolbar is the topmost bar with various buttons on it. You can hover over each button to see what they do, but each one's functionality will be explored in more detail below.

File I/O

File I/O buttons

The New Remix, Open Remix, and Save Remix buttons are generally self-explanatory.

The New Remix button will ask you if you want to start fresh. Be careful, because you cannot undo this!

The Open Remix button will ask you what remix file you'd like to open. You can also open MIDI files (.mid) and load them in as Glee Club sing cues by default. Be careful, because you will lose all unsaved changes.

The Save Remix button will ask you where to save your remix.

Exporting

Export button

This will allow you to export your remixes as WAV, MP3, OGG (Vorbis), or FLAC files, as long as you have placed an End Remix entity.

See this article for more info.

Undo/Redo

Undo and redo buttons

These buttons allow you to undo and redo most actions, respectively. Keyboard shortcuts are CTRL+Z for undoing, and CTRL+Y/CTRL+SHIFT+Z for redoing.

Music Select, Metronome, and Tapalong

Music Select, Metronome, and Tapalong

The first button allows you to select the music. Right clicking on the button will mute the music temporarily.

The metronome button toggles the metronome. It also ticks at a higher pitch for the start of each measure (if defined).

The tapalong button brings up a menu to help you find the BPM of your music.

Scroll Mode

Scroll mode

This button allows you to toggle what action scrolling (or pressing up and down) does on a selection. By default, it changes the pitch. An alternative mode is changing the volume.

See this section for more details.

Change Track Size

Change track size

This button allows you to change how many lines, or rows are available on the track. Left click to increase the size, and right click to decrease the size. Be careful! You cannot decrease the row count if cues are in the way. When this happens, right clicking the button will go to the impeding entity, and select it for you.

Playalong

Playalong

Playalong mode is covered in its own article here.

Right clicking this button will open the Playalong Settings, where you can change the control scheme and calibrate for input lag.

Playback Speed

Playback speed

Change the active playback speed at any point. Left click and hold on the slider to change the speed. Holding SHIFT while left clicking unlocks increments. Right clicking resets to 1x speed. You can also scroll to change the speed in predefined increments.

Playback

Playback buttons

The playback buttons are self-explanatory. Pressing play will start the remix from the Playback Start marker (or from where it was paused).
Pressing pause will pause the remix, and pressing play again will continue playback. Pressing stop will stop the remix and reset its position to the Playback Start marker.

Jump to Beat and Snap Intervals

Left: Jump to Beat field | Right: Snap Intervals

The first element is a text field. Type in a beat number to jump straight to it.

The second element is a button. Left click to change the snap intervals to increasingly smaller increments (wraps around to 1/4), and right click to set it to 1/4.

Presentation Mode, Views, and Theme Chooser

Left: Presentation Mode | Middle: Views | Right: Theme Chooser

The left button is the Presentation Mode button. Use this mode when recording a remix for use on a video sharing site. A progress bar will appear, with credits and a link to the project's GitHub page, along with the current game being played and the current BPM. Certain entities will be hidden from view for neatness.

The button with an eye on it is the Views menu. You can select different view types there.
See this section for more details.

The button with the colour palettes is the Theme Chooser. You can pick from a variety of pre-built themes, or make your own with the Theme Editor. RIGHT CLICK this button to toggle between solid-colour backgrounds and (animated) menu backgrounds.
See this article for more details.

Window settings

Left: Reset Window | Right: Fullscreen

The left button resets the window to the default size. It will also revert the program to be in windowed mode if it was in fullscreen previously.

The right button puts the program in fullscreen, if possible.

Language, News, Info and Settings

Left: Language | Middle: News | Right: Info and Settings

The left button cycles through the languages (right click goes in reverse). Note: all localizations are not 100% accurate. We appreciate corrections and suggestions!

The middle button goes to the News screen. Here you can stay updated with the latest RHRE and custom remixing news.

The right button goes to the Info and Settings screen. From there you can change some settings, view current program info and the credits, and maybe even try out some extra games!
