Enter notes

On the right side of the Project window, you can see the Note Values and Pitches panes. They are responsible for choosing the duration and pitch of a note, respectively.

Let's add some notes to the first staff.

1. To create notes C4 and E4, scroll to the One-line octave section of the Pitches panel and click the corresponding pitch buttons.

   

2. As you can see, the added notes are quarter notes. To change their duration to half (1/2), scroll up to the Note Values panel and click the Half button.

   

3. Press the Right Arrow key on your keyboard for creating a new position for the subsequent notes and going to it.

   

4. As the note value at the new position is the same as in the previous one, click the Sixteenth button in the Note values panel to change it.

5. Add notes B3 and D4 as described in step 1.

   

6. Go to the next position as described in step 3 and enter notes C4 and E4 using the Pitches pane.

   

   The sixteenth notes from the second and third positions are beamed automatically.
