This is what pops up every time I try to save it
Could not open C:\Program Files\LMMS\data\Lmms songs\Electric Acapella (1).mmpz.bak.mmpz for writing. You probably are not permitted to write to this file. Please make sure you have write-access to the file and try again.

Hi, Welcome to the forum ad Brandy said DJ DiY ! Here are all our important links:
http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4740
And a few rules for Avatars, signatures, posting and using the right sub-forum
Have you tried the save-as option in the file menu?
We as Steve said need OS and lmms version, you also (duuhh) should not shot lmms down
My gues is also a problem with user permissions. Did you install lmms on the same account, that you currently are running it in?
I get this every time i try to save.

is that a windows message popup or an lmms popup?
I would like to see a screenshot
Obs the bold -That has to do with user account-permissions

And that's a pretty weird filename "Electric Acapella (1).mmpz.bak.mmpz". As we've said before try saving to a different name with just .mmpz on the end, like "test.mmpz".

I just tried a new name and i still get the same thing. I added a folder for lmms songs under the file named /data. That has read and write on.

I would like to know witch, because if an other win10 user runs into this problem, your experience could help.
Images on this board:
You need to upload pictures to a image-service, like imgur, and then you insert the link between IMG-tags
though not important now :)

Windows cant handle that extension ( .mmpz.bak.mmpz )
Do you know how to rename the file to Electric Acapella.mmpz ?
Edit just saw you solved it already.
Does this file come form a linux pc by any change ?
Linux does not care about extensions the way windows does.
