### Create a project

To create a project, you must enter a name for the project in the text input. Clicking on "Create Folder" will create the preset folder where you can modify it. Clicking on "Open AppData" will open a window to the path where the AppData and Yet Another Ritmo Mania are located.

***

### Open a project

By clicking on the "Open Project" button, a window will appear for you to select a .txt file, which must necessarily be called levelinfo. When you select it, the necessary parameters will be loaded from the file for the correct operation of the project.

The levelinfo.txt file must be located where the project files are, if the mentioned file is not in the path that matches the levelinfo.txt parameters, it will not work.
