So there is this one little thing that I can't find a reason for. When the new score is created, if you select the empty bar and hit the letter to input the note, it doesn't do anything. You have to either press N key and start the note input mode, or select a whole rest with the mouse and input some notes. However if you entered at least one note already, selecting an empty measure again and hitting the key to create a note will produce a note as usual, even without entering a step input mode. It would be better if the notes would be entered right on.

I suspect this might be OS-specific and be a matter of where the keyboard focus happens to be after closing the new score wizard. But for the record, pressing "N" is the usual way to start note input. it does happen to work to skip that, but it's not normally recommended.
