How do I change the default paths where Song Surgeon stores files?
To change your default paths, open Song Surgeon 5, then click the Options button, then select the default Paths tab.
You will see a number of different paths used by Song Surgeon. You can change any of these paths, either by copying
and pasting a new path into the field, or you can use the Browse button on the right side (with the 3 dots) to open a dialog
window and browse to the path you'd like to use.
Once you have done this please make certain you click the OK button at the bottom of this window to save these changes.
Then you will need to close SS and open again for these new paths to take effect.
