 * Copying sections of notes within a song: When copying identical note/chord patterns from one part of the song to another, we have a few options.
-:::If you’re copying from one bar to the next, the easiest way is Right Drag, to select the notes you wish to copy, then use the Ctrl+Left Drag command to copy and drag these notes to the desired spot.

 * Reducing parts to easier difficulties: When ready to reduce notes for easier difficulties, select the notes you want to move down, and use the Alt+C command. This will take any notes you have selected and drop them down one octave to the next difficulty. The cursor doesn’t even need to be at the head of the selected notes.

 The installer for the most current version of Reaper can be found here: http://www.reaper.fm
-After Reaper has been installed, you will then need to run the Custom RBN Script. This will install our colormaps, text event list, custom key commands, RB Preview Window, and change certain settings within Reaper for optimal use when authoring for RBN. The RBN Script can be found here: http://creators.rockband.com/tools/download
+:<span style="color: blue">C3 recommends installing version 4.22</span>
 Note: Please close all other audio applications before installing Reaper, including any audio extensions that run in the background, as this can sometimes interfere with the Reaper installation

 How to use:
 * Insert your kick stem into the track labeled Kick, and your Snare stem into the track labeled Snare
 * Insert any other tracks you need for tempo mapping into other tracks
 * Tempo map your song
 * When your tempo map is set, open the fx channel for the Kick and Snare Tracks, you’ll notice a ReaGate plugin has been setup on each track.
 * You’ll need to adjust the threshold value on these plugins (the leftmost slider) so that the slider is set a little below the volume of that drum being hit. As you play the kick and snare track, you’ll notice a green meter around that slider that follows the volume of the track.
 * Click on the timeline just before the first hit in your drum tracks and hit record.
 * At the end of your song, hit the record button again. You notice that you’ve recorded a bunch of MIDI notes on the PART DRUMS track
 * You should quantize those notes by selecting them in the MIDI editor window and hitting Q, which will bring up the quantize menu (I recommend quantizing to 32nd notes, or perhaps even 16th notes if your drum part is simple enough.
 * You can then set about cleaning up your expert drum part and adding cymbal gems to it.

 * Reducing parts to easier difficulties: When ready to reduce notes for easier difficulties, select the notes you want to move down, and use the Alt+C command. This will take any notes you have selected and drop them down one octave to the next difficulty. The cursor doesn’t even need to be at the head of the selected notes.
 * Copying notes from Expert to Left Hand (LH) Animations: To copy notes from the Expert parts down to Animations, use the Shift+C command, and all the selected notes will be copied into the bottom of the Animations section of your MIDI file.
 * Deleting Double Notes: It is very easy, when authoring songs to end up with double notes. Double notes occur when a note is directly on top of another note, or overlapping another note. Double notes will cause the game to spit out Notifies, so we want to make sure that we get rid of them. Generally, one will not be able to see when a double note occurs, so when finishing a part, before testing it, select all using the Ctrl+A command, and then use the Shift+D command. This will remove all notes that are right on top of one another. If, after doing this, Notifies still appear, scan through the MIDI part, and look for notes that may be overlapping.
