The Song Menu contains commands for working with the structure of the current song, and for changing those properties which apply to the song as a whole.  It also has several commands for controlling song playback.

The Song menu is available only in Mixer View, Track View and Staff View.

Some of the commands are also available as buttons on the tool bar, transport bar, mixer panel, segment bar, or staff bar.
