Working on 2 songs at the same time

[penster]

If I am working on 2 songs at the same time, I need to save them as I go. In the manual (page 60) it talks about song save but also song protect which I find a little confusing. Have I got this right?
You are working on song A. You save it then protect it.
You open a new song (song B). You work on it. You then save and protect it.
You re-open song A. You un-protect it and work on it.

Protecting a song prevents you from accidently messing with it (like erasing it by mistake), but you don't have to protect them.  I have often worked on 2 songs and didn't protect them, just save save save.

In normal use, it's not necessary to save a song. Your recorded data is written directly to the memory card anyway. The Song Save operation described on page 60 will save the current state of all of the various settings of the Micro BR. But, again, there really isn't any need for this as the settings are saved every time you change screens. For example, suppose that you go into the Track Pan screen and the current pan setting for track 1 reads C00. You decide to adjust this by pressing the VALUE [-] button until it reads L22. At this point the pan setting of track 1 is L22 but the value stored with the song's data on the memory card is still C00. However, as soon as you exit out of the Track Pan screen (to return to the Play screen, for example), the value L22 will be written to the memory card. Of course, while you were still in the Track Pan screen, you could have pressed Stop and Rec to force the L22 to be written to the memory card. But why bother if it's going to be written as soon as you exit the Track Pan screen anyway? I have yet to find any practical use for the Song Save feature.
