Note entry
Hi everybody
I think that in the section of the manual "Note entry" the first part is susceptible of improvement, in particular for new users.
Here is a suggestion for a more friendly and readable version (I hope!).
Do you think is it a good idea?
Please verify my English.
Thanks
Antonio

Notes are entered following these steps:
- select your starting position for note entry
- select Note entry mode
- select the duration of the note (or rest) you want to enter
- entry note (or rest) using keyboard shortcut, mouse or a MIDI keyboard
Starting position
First select a note or rest on the score as your starting position for note entry. When entering notes you are always replacing existing notes or rests. So the duration of a measure does not change.
Note entry mode
- N: Enters Note entry mode.
- Escape: Leaves Note entry mode.
Duration of the note
After entering Note entry mode you should select the duration of the note you want to enter by selecting a value from the note palette or by the corresponding keyboard shortcut.
