Hi all.
I'd like to create my own default project.
Where is the default one stored to? Or is it programatically created?

update: solution is here

create a template
Those are used for exactly that, then you just click 'add-template' button, and choose from the list. The factually default setup, cant be changed.

I actually meant the "default project" you get when you start the application.
I already knew about the templates... Thanks anyway.

Then I need to be able to save that template in the system template directory.
Under Ubuntu Linux this happens to be /usr/share/lmms/projects/templates/, owned by root, thus not writable by my normal users.
Is there a way to create a new project from a template not residing in that directory?
I would like not to share my templates with other users...

i doubt it, but i will raise a enhancement ticket, but for now afaik - not possible

LMMS uses the file projects/templates/default.mpt as the default template if it exists.

Great news grejppi! This needs to be documented!

Confirmed it works under Ubuntu Linux!

I documented it here https://lmms.io/documentation/Main_Menu_Bar, but it isn't easy to find... we should get a search field going on
