You did it! You made your first composition 🥳🎉

Transfer your [composition] safely
I recommend the following methods:
- Cable connection with your PC
- Signal/WhatsApp
Caution
There are some known services which might change the audio file extension, metadata or audio codec. These include but are not limited to:
- Google Drive
- Open the Glyph Composer or install it from Google Play.
- Press the hamburger button in the top left
Important
If the button is grayed out, record and save a simple [composition] in the Glyph Composer app.
- Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Import.
- Choose your [composition] with the stock Android file manager
Caution
Do not use any other third party file explorer! More info here.
Note
If your composition does not import and you get a small popup at the bottom of your screen, see the Troubleshooting topic.
Caution
Do NOT share your [composition] if you do not have the rights to distribute the audio! This can result in legal complications!
If you want to share your creation share your [NGlyph File] with the following information:
Song Name: <Song Name you used>
Artist(s): <Artists which are in this music>
Link: <YouTube or direct download link (Internet Archive)>
From: <The starting timestamp - see Audacity, e.g.: 00h01m21.041s>
To: <The end timestamp - see Audacity, e.g.: 00h03m45.123s>
With the file and this info it is possible to recreate it.
Note
There is a channel in the Discord where you can share your [composition] (link at the root of the wiki).
If you want to step up your game and create even better [compositions] you can work through the Create Advanced compositions (Zones) topic.
If you are more interrested in the technical aspect of how this all works, check out the Technical Details topic.
