Hi Earl,

It's possible to use the Big Piano (found under the Window menu). It's a two-step process to enter notes.

1. Open editable notation mode

2. click on the beat or part-beat where you'd like a note to be entered (use the beat line above the notation mode staff)

3. click on the Big Piano note that you'd like to enter and it will appear on the staff


Alternatively...

The ASDF-row and ZXCV-row of keys of the computer's keyboard can be used to enter notes. These are controlled under the "Play" menu and are called "Keyboard Wizard".

When I write a song, I often use this. I record MIDI and use the notes to tap in the timing on G. That is, the melody is totally on G notes accurately timed. Then I turn on editable notation mode and drag the notes up/down to create my melody. It's pretty quick doing it this way once you get used to it.

Regards,
Noel
