Quick question: Is clearing a sample song the only way to make my own song?

I am confused on how to make a new song. From the tutorial videos, it seems the only way is to clear (using the bomb icon) a song that already exists.
Is there a way to make a blank new song  I can use to compose my own music without destroying the other songs?
Thank you!

Is the solution to just keep increasing the song number in a folder until you reach a number higher than the premade songs?

Developer

Basically, when creating new song data in this program, you should clear the existing song data or use an unused number. However, sample songs are also stored in a separate folder (LC_SAMPLE_xxx), so there's no need to worry about losing the original sample songs.

You can also directly manipulate song data files on the OS. The folder where the data is saved can be opened by pressing the "Open Data Folder" button in the program.

Also, You can add a new folder by copying and renaming the LC_USER folder in that location (making a duplicate of LC_USER with a different name). The folder list in the program will be updated after the program is restarted.

Note: General folders are not displayed in the app's folder list. Only folders that contain the "lcdata.jsonl" file, such as the LC_USER folder, are displayed in the list.


Thank you for this complete explanation (I was wondering why my custom folder wasn't showing up). Thanks for making such a fun program! My favorite feature is the collection of "instruments" and the explanation of how they modified a wave to make that sound!
