Yass Reloaded

Yass Reloaded is an editor for UltraStar songs with a strong focus on practical song creation, note editing, recording, and library maintenance.

This site is the structured companion to the project wiki. It is meant to make the most important workflows easier to find, easier to keep up to date, and easier to discover for new users.

What This Documentation Covers

The long-term plan is to cover:

installation and setup
library management
editor workflows
recording and tapping
alignment features
external tools like FFmpeg, WhisperX, MVSEP, audio-separator, and fanart.tv
reference material for tags, shortcuts, and troubleshooting

The older in-application help pages remain valuable as a compact reference. This site is intended to grow into the better structured, easier searchable version of that material.

Because Yass Reloaded is a fork of the original Yass project, this documentation consistently refers to the current fork as Yass Reloaded to avoid ambiguity.
