Manipulating Items in the Workspace
The main interface to OpenMusic is the Workspace window. The Workspace is a icon-oriented browser which behaves in much the same way as the Macintosh Finder. Icons represent OpenMusic objects or folders where objects (or subfolders) may be stored.
Objects the Workspace are persistent. This means they hang around until you delete them, which is done with the Clear command. OM performs a general save of the Workspace and all objects in it at the end of each session. Nonetheless, you may force a save of any part of the Workspace by using the Save command. If you are in a patch, only that patch is saved. If you are in the Workspace, you may either select an object and save it, or click in the background so that no object is selected and then save, which saves the entire Workspace. This is useful since there is no undo function in OM. It will also save you a good deal of stress in the event of a crash.
