Remember to save your work as often as you can! You can save quickly by pressing 'CTRL+S'. My advice (if you use the 'Save as...' option) is to save 2 files - for example 'Best Song in the World 1' and 'Best Song in the World 2'. This way, if you do something drastically wrong and it goof's up your song, then at least you have another version to fall back on."
