Connect to LiveSplit

2. Launch LiveSplit
3. Go to "Edit Layout" -> "+" -> "Control" -> "LiveSplit Server". Hit ok.
4. In LiveSplit, select "Control" -> "Start Server".
5. SplitNotes should now be connected to LiveSplit. If connection is active the Icon for SplitNotes is green.

Format your notes
It is recommended to use a .txt file to store your notes.
Note files should be formatted as following:

• Normal text is treated as notes
• Text in bracket ([some text]) is ignored from notes, this could be used to write down titles or other comments to keep the note file tidy.
• A line only containing a split separator, such as a word (for example "<split>") or a simple newline, signals that notes for a specific split is over. You can set what you want to use as a split separator in the settings menu of SplitNotes.

Example with newline as separator:

[Split1]
these are some notes for split 1.

These are some notes for split2.
As you can see a title in brackets is not neccesary.
A simple new line is enough to separate notes for different splits.

Also some notes for split 3.
You don't have to [ worry abut using brackets [ in the middle of a row].

Example with "-end-" as separator:

[Split1]
these are some notes for split 1.
-end-
These are some notes for split2.

Now it is fine to use linebreaks in the middle of the notes.
This will still be on the notes for split 2
-end-
Also some notes for split 3.
You don't have to [ worry abut using brackets [ in the middle of a row].
