PALIMPSEST FOR LINUX: GETTING STARTED (version 0.4.29, test version)
====================================================================

The file is "Palimpsest 0.4.29 for Linux.AppImage" (about 140 MB). It runs on most 64-bit Linux
computers with an Intel or AMD processor (Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora and others). Nothing is installed:
the file is the app.

1. Put the file somewhere you'll keep it, for example your home folder or an "Applications" folder.

2. Allow it to run (once): right-click the file, choose Properties, and turn on
   "Allow executing file as program" (the wording varies a little between Linux versions).
   Or in a terminal:  chmod +x "Palimpsest 0.4.29 for Linux.AppImage"

3. Double-click it. Palimpsest opens.

4. The first time, Palimpsest asks you to start a new songbook or open one you already have.
   A new songbook is one folder, usually Documents/Songbook, with one plain text file per song.

If it doesn't open:

- If it says AppImages need FUSE (common on Ubuntu 22.04 and later), install it once in a terminal:
    Ubuntu 24.04 or later:  sudo apt install libfuse2t64
    Ubuntu 22.04, Mint 21:  sudo apt install libfuse2
  Or start it without FUSE:  ./"Palimpsest 0.4.29 for Linux.AppImage" --appimage-extract-and-run

- If nothing happens at all, start it from a terminal to see the message, and send it back to me:
    ./"Palimpsest 0.4.29 for Linux.AppImage"

Splitting a recording into its parts (Studio): the first time, Palimpsest asks before downloading the
splitting model (about 136 MB, once).

To remove it: delete the AppImage file. Your songs stay in your songbook folder.

If something looks wrong, a screenshot (the Print Screen key) and a sentence about what you were doing
is the most useful thing to send back.
