Is there a tutorial or manual that explains every button in the editor?

Hi.

Yes, I've gone through the Tutorials, but it would be nice to have a simple one sheet manual that gives a short explanation of every part of the editor interface. I don't know for example what the slash next to N.C. means, etc.

Does such a thing exist yet?

Thanks!

You are right, there is a learning curve...

I use the slash to continue the chord from the precedeing measure and delay the next change.

Ah, thanks for the slash explanation.

I have worked as a teacher for a while and know that different people think and learn in different ways. I tend to learn best if I have a visual of something, and I know I'm not the only one. So I'd really like to see the button layout and some explanatory text added to the tutorials or to a manual somewhere.

That's been the most frustrating part about this otherwise great program - not all information is in the tutorial, and the best ways of handling certain things are in some cases scattered throughout the forum.

If I hadn't searched for how to repeat x times and found an answer, I still wouldn't know that the player recognizes a plain text entry of "4x" for that purpose - that was not in the tutorial.

So a visual representation of every screen element with the explanations next to them would really help new users, IMHO.

This might be helpful.

Thanks, I had found that one earlier, too, but it doesn't have the visual aspect that I'd find helpful.
