Do Stuff Menu

The menubar functions of the iPad version of the song editor are accessible in this menu:

Tweak Dem Metadata Feels

The metadata editor gives you fields to complete in order to set the metadata content of the song. (Translation: fill in the blanks so the song knows who it is.)

Swap Books Like You're Ditchin' Classes

This menu lets you add the song to books without adding metadata. (AKA: YOLO your song into a collection, no questions asked.)

Rip Out Text / Go Back in Time

This button will either extract the text of the imported file and overwrite the contents of the text editor, or revert to the last known version of the song contents before extraction took place. (Press it & watch the magic happen—or watch it all blow up. 50/50 odds, tbh.)

Use Extracted Text / Keep the File, Bestie

This option is used to toggle between displaying the imported file in the song viewer, or using the extracted text instead. This options is automatically toggled during the extraction process. (Can't decide? Let the app choose for you. It's basically Schrodinger's song.)

Transpose Into a Key That Won't Make You Cry

This menu allows you to rewrite the current song content into a different key for easier editing. (Your fingers will thank you. Maybe.)

Text Tools (Where Magic Happens)

This button will open the text tools menu which gives you tools to perform on the text content of the song like search and replace, or changing the chord format of the text. (Find & Replace your mistakes. Or just your entire life choices.)

Delete

Tapping on the red delete option will delete the song. This will prompt you before deleting the song in case you accidentally tap on the button. (We got your back with a "U sure, bro?" popup.)

Cancel

This button closes the action menu. (Nope, changed my mind. ABORT MISSION.)

Extracting text & switching between the imported & text-based versions of the song are only available on songs containing imported files & whether that file contains extractable text. (TLDR: This only works if you actually imported something. Can't magic text outta thin air, srsly.)
