How do I create an LMS file in 5.3.12

[pouterson1]

Can anyone tell me how create an .lms file in S5 5.3.12?  I found some in an LORinternal directory but when I create a sequence and save it in the sequence editor, I can't find an .lms file in that directory.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks for the help.

LMS files are created automatically as needed by the program, and saved in the LORinternal as you noticed.  I'm not understanding why you are thinking to create one manually and what you will do with it?

lms was the extension for S4, in S5, the files saved as loredit extension.   It is possible to export a file from superstar as an lms file but it will get converted on open/save in sequencer.

Got it.  Didn't realize that you don't need the .lms files anymore.  Things seem to be running smoothly.  Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
