I just found some behaviour I didn't expect.
I had a single page, single file song and I wanted to update the file. So I went into edit mode, selected the file tab, added the new replacement file and deleted the original. So the new file was initially file 2 and became file 1.
I had some annotations on the song and when I exited the editor these had disappeared. As it happens I don't mind as they were the corrections I had just fixed with the new file, but I didn't expect it. I assume what has happened is when I added the new file it became a two page song, then I deleted the first file, so the annotations on the first page were deleted with it.
I know I should have used swap file, but I forgot. And in this case I was just about to delete the annotations anyway, so I don't mind, but it might catch someone out in the future. So it might be worth looking at a warning or something.
