Output Options

The output options menu gives you the ability to customize how files are exported including:

Filename

By default, this field is blank resulting in the default file name to be used. The appropriate file extension will be appended to the end of the name. The default filename appears as placeholder text.

Files

This section handles how multiple outputted files should be handled including:

Collate

By default, individual songs are each exported as their own separate file. If you have a set with four songs, and one file format selected, then four files will be generated. If you choose As single file, the songs are exported into a single file per file format.

Compression

If you need to always send a single file attachment or export, this is a great option. All outputted files are compressed into a ZIP archive and then exported. Default is off.
