Choose newline character in Notepad++

I notice that when I load a text file, Notepad++ will recognize and use whatever the newline character in that file is, \n or \r\n.

Is there some option where I can select which to use by default for new documents?
(I've looked in help and googled, but can't find anything.)

Just double-click on that EOL format in the status bar and select Unix(LF).
It's not possible to default save a file in this (LF) format.

How to change the EOL format in Notepad++.

Just an alternative to the "new document" setting mentioned earlier …

For any new document: Settings -> Preferences -> New Document (left pane) -> New Document (right pane) -> Format (Line ending) -> Windows (CR LF) / Unix (LF) / Macintosh (CR)

And for an already-open document: Edit -> EOL Conversion

on windows 10, Notepad 7.8.5, i found this solution to convert from CRLF to LF.
Edit > Format end of line
and choose either Windows(CR+LF) or Unix(LF)

"Edit -> EOL Conversion". You can convert to Windows/Linux/Mac EOL there. The current format is displayed in the status bar.
