Am trying to make a simple lead sheet - chords and melody notes.

Most of the notes in the music are 8th notes. I'm getting triplets. I know it's just a simple matter, I did it recently when I was practicing and don't remember what I did.

My problem is that I'm new at this, have limited time, doing things in spurts; I don't have time to sit for hours and learn. That would be ideal.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
