Key Detection is not working

Key Detection is not working

Go here: C:\Program Files (x86)\KeyFinder

Is this program installed on your computer?  If it is, copy the following two files
Keyfinder.dll
Keyfinder.exe

and paste them into the Song Surgeon folder here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Song Surgeon 5\

Once you have done that you can open SS and the key detection should work.

IF this folder is not on your machine: C:\Program Files (x86)\KeyFinder


Then go back to the main SS folder here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Song Surgeon 5\

In it you will find Keyfinder.msi. Double click this file and run it and install it. When done you will
now have the Keyfinder folder on your machine. Go back to it and copy these two files

Keyfinder.dll
Keyfinder.exe

and paste them into the Song Surgeon folder here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Song Surgeon 5\

Now open SS and run it. You should have key detection.
