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.

I transposed a piece for alto sax to Bb clarinet so I clicked on “alto sax” to edit the instrumentation to “Bb clarinet” but upon exporting it still said “alto sax”. How can I do that?

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 ?

That's actually strange. How did you export your music? As a PDF file or MusicXML? Please let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Was the source file an imported file or one of our editions? Please let me know.
If you could also tell me exactly the steps you have taken, that'd help to figure out what happened.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you again!
No inconvenience at all, you are always very welcome. And thank you again for reaching out!
All the best,

As for the membership, we look forward to having you among our Members as well!
And yes, once you edit the music inside the Playground, you can export it in MusicXML for further editing or for archival purposes.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
All the best,
