Is there an option to prevent overwriting existing song files? Meaning to help me from accidently saving a song to the same file, when my intent is to always save to a new name and protect the previous version. I don't do it much but Save Song and Save Song As are shaky-hands-mouse-accidents waiting to happen for me.

Here's a suggestion. Prepare your Custom toolbar with an icon only for Save As. Then only use the Custom Toolbar for file management.

That's a great suggestion. Matt. I set it up. Which is amazing in itself!

Thank you!

There are also system tools to store versions of files and within windows, or using different repository services like Google Drive and below.

Great way of 'thinking outside the square'.
