How can I edit the VSM repertoire with it?
Look for the "Open in Playground" (or just "Playground") blue button to open enabled titles into the Playground. Try with the first collection of our basic Christmas Carols to see how it works (if you are not a Member, you may have limited access to that title).
Request to enable new titles by clicking on the "Request Playground" (or just "Playground") button on any VSM item's page.
Search for "VSM Playground" on the site to find titles already enabled.

Hi Mike, and thank you for your inquiry.
Well, at the moment, it is not possible to define manually where the 8va line starts and finishes. That may be a feature we'll add to the Playground in the coming months.
Unfortunately, at the moment, you should rely on the smart transposition algorithm, which should take care of that automatically for you.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
The mailed song "Your Love Is Good"written version I mailed concerns me though familiarizing that the postal mail is was not a good way to correspond. I look forward to the membership and working with Playground.Pagination with the printed page dos interest me with the electronic pages in producing printed songs.Can my songs get transcribed with Playground saved and kept for reference ?
I Mailed a song "Your Love Is Good".A written out version that once was recorded by HillTop Records.A picture of me with guitar, Activation Code and Account Activation.Did you receive it ?The Playground with the Song Your Love I Good is one song I would like to work with with Playground.

And yes, once you edit the music inside the Playground, you can export it in MusicXML for further editing or for archival purposes.
