The third type of data file you can save of your Werk is a Leadsheet file, which is a text file made available when you call up the Leadsheet window from the Extras menu. From here, you can save information that may be useful when your midifile is imported to a full-featured sequence-editor. This file begins with the name of the Werk and a list of track names by MIDI channel. This is followed by a listing of transposition data by bar number, including each triad by its root name and chord quality (for example: major, minor, diminished) that resulted from all combined transpositions, along with the pitches of (+)Notes. Mid-bar changes are indicated, and the number is given of any Melody Block in play. The Leadsheet is dynamically overwritten as each bar passes, so long as maxWerk's Transposer is enabled. The best time to save a Leadsheet, therefore, is immediately after you have played through a full Werk Performance, perhaps in the process of making a midifile recording.
