====3.2.1 Playing the song====
First of all you can switch the output indicator, which will indicate when a note is being played, with the [CTRL]-[O] keys. In the command line in the lower screen is printed whether it is on or off.
The same goes for the settings scan. This is convenient if you are composing a song and you do not want to start playing from the start of the song. It is not impossible that for example an instrument change already took place earlier in the song before the pattern where you start playing. With the settings scan all changes and settings that are done in the song before the current pattern are checked and set. This can be switched on and off with the [CTRL]-[S] keys. When the settings scan is switched off, the song is started with the settings that are normally used at the beginning of the song. When it is switched on, MoonBlaster will scan the complete song after you press F1 or F2 to find setting changes. This is shown with the pattern/position numbers in the top right screen.
The [F1] key starts playing of the song. The song will start at the current position and end at the last position. The [F2] key will play the current pattern only, this is convenient during the composing of the song.
====3.2.2 �Stopping the song====
The song can be stopped using the following keys: the space bar, the [ESC] and [STOP] key.The space bar and [ESC] have the same function, the music is stopped and the current position will be set to the current position before playing started.The [STOP] key is practical for debugging. When you hear a note that is out of tune, press the [STOP] key and the song will stop at the position that was being played.
