    Hello, I have a problem on first screen after Podium startup. In the field with Arrangements I have this yellow box, which stays there and I can´t read names which is behind it…

    Is it bug?

    If you move the mouse over the pulsating stickie note button, the popup will disappear once you move the mouse away.

    You can disable this automatic popup feature by deselecting the “pop up project stickie note after loading project” option in preferences.

    Thanks 😳 Oh, and one more quick question: is it possible to save my song as a new arrangement? I mean: I open some arrangement in the project, work on it and now I want to save it, but not overwrite previous version of arrangement. I only figured that I can save it as a whole new project… thank you

    No, you cannot, however you could do a new phantom copy (right clicking on the arrangement) and start working on the copy. I know it isn’t the same, but at least you can do it until a certain degree 🙂

    I cannot understant why it is not possible 🙂 Seems to be very basic function… 🙄 But maybe I don´t fully understand the whole project/arrangement logic yet.

    Arrangements are not saved as separate files. They are all saved in the single project file. One way to look at it, is to see arrangements as part of the project, the same way you see note sequences as part of an arrangement.

    If you make changes you want to keep, but at the same time don’t want to overwrite the existing project/arrangement that was last saved, then you need to use the “save project as” to save to a new file.

    If you want to experiment with an arrangement, yet still want to keep the original arrangement, then you can make a copy of the arrangement before you start editing. Right-click the arrangement in the list on the project start page, and select “new unique copy”.

    Siegfried, what you’ve asked for has been requested before, but from what I’ve read so far, Frits doesn’t seem convinced. 😉

    I haven’t found myself in a situation where I’d need this yet, but here are my two cents anyway:

    There could be a “convert (arrangement) to unique copy” function here as well – it should be simple enough for Podium to make the current (modified) arrangement unique and afterwards reinstate the original arrangement as it is in the yet unmodified project file in one go. Of course this would only be saved upon saving the project, as always.

    Now this is what you can call a non-programmer’s solution to the problem! 😆

    The way it is currently makes more sense to me; I consider that when I want to change something, I make a new copy and work on one of them, and leave the other.
