About the general questions, are you aware of the video tutorials? Some folks learn better that way.

About the Ctrl+T, you don't need to remember this, because there are two places you can click to select one or the other view. Look directly above the first data cell in the Chordsheet view, and you will see two small boxes called Minimal Screen Mode and Normal Screen Mode (these names will appear in a tool tip when you hover over the boxes). As AudioTrack mentioned, just look at each one, pick one, and stay with it until you are more familiar with the program. It's not a matter of function; it's a matter of personal preference about how much you want to see on the screen. I would think it might be easier when starting out to use the Normal mode.

Also about the Ctrl+T, there are tons of software packages out there that use many dozens of keystroke shortcuts. Power users find this to be the most efficient way to work, once you learn them. My music notation program has two full pages of keystrokes that do specific tasks; BIAB by comparison is much less. You will notice that BIAB usually provides more than one way to do things, and once you discover them, you can choose the workflow preferences you like. Ctrl+T is only one example of this.

Finally, my suggestion is to make one thread for each question. You can ask as many as you need to, and we will answer them as we go. You'll get there.
