I’m new to Windows. I don’t know how to save a text file with the necessary .lrc extension in the Mac text editor. It seems that I "cannot have lrc extension, must have lrc.txt. In Windows, I could just use Notepad or Wordpad, and it would just accept a file being saved with a .lrc extension. How can I do this on a Mac?

It is easy to do that on a Mac. TextEdit allows you to create a rich .txt file or a plain .txt file. If you want to save a file as a .lrc extension, you need to create the file as a plain .txt file first and modify the TextEdit preferences - uncheck Add “.txt” extension to plain text files in Open and Save.
