- The save button will save the note to the current song,
- If the notes are different is the song file and the set list, the notes from the set list will be displayed
- Also note that if hot keys are set to letters, it is best to switch tabs away from the chart or those keys will still do the hot key function rather than input the letter.

When selected, it shows all the set lists available. Clicking on one will load that list.
The exit button exits the application. If the current song has been edited but not saved, a dialog will open to remind the user there have been changes and can save before quitting.It is worth noting that if a song does not have a {key: } tag and the key was guessed, then the file has been changed and needs to be saved to keep the key information.
