save your updates in the same file or as a new file in Notion format . You also have the
option of saving the score to another format (an
export
) other than Notion .
To keep in an existing file any new changes you made to the score or

keyboard shortcut: Windows:
Ctrl + S;
Mac:
+ S
, or
8
Go to the Menu Bar
and select File > Save .
