## Install
1. Download the latest version of LiveSplit Server Component from [this](https://github.com/LiveSplit/LiveSplit.Server/releases) site.
2. Unzip and move the files to the component folder in your LiveSplit install (...\LiveSplit\Components)
3. Download the latest version of SplitNotes from [this](https://github.com/joelnir/SplitNotes/releases) page.
4. Unzip SplitNotes anywhere.
## How To Use
**Connect to LiveSplit**
1. Launch Splitnotes.exe
2. Launch LiveSplit
3. Go to "Edit Layout" -> "+" -> "Control" -> "LiveSplit Server". Hit ok. (Let the server use the default port: 16834)
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
* New Line means notes for a specific split is over.
* 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.
Example:
>[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 som notes for split 3.
>You don't have to [ worry abut using brackets [ in the middle of a row].
**Load Notes**
1. Right-Click in SplitNotes and select "Load Notes".
2. Choose your text file.
3. Make sure that notes for the right amount of splits have been loaded.
## Features
