- SongPrinter enables you to print any SoundTracker song you've made. You can
- also examine a SoundTracker song if you want to see, what instruments are
- used by the song.

- How to use SongPrinter
- ----------------------
-
- Working with SongPrinter is very easy. If you want to dump a song to the
- printer make sure the desired devices are on your boot-disk. These include:
- parallel/serial.device, the port-handler in directory l and your favourite
- printer driver in devs/printers. Now load SongPrinter from the CLI (drawing
- an icon for Workbench will cause no remarkable effect) using this syntax:
-
- SongPrinter <songname> [-S] [-P] [-L]
-
- <songname> is the path to the SoundTracker song you want to print.
-
- The -S option will cause SongPrinter to put all it's output to the current
- CLI-Window. So you don't have to use a printer.
-
- The -P option forces SongPrinter to print all patterns that are USED (!) in
- the song.
-
- The -L option will switch your printer to NLQ/LQ (Tuca has a NEC P2200, so
- don't wonder why he wrote Letter Quality in the program).
-
- Be careful! SongPrinter can't be stopped when it's running. So be sure,
- you have typed the right command before you press Return.
