This documentation file serves as a guide to which keys do what. It is 
not meant to teach you how to make or read sheet music.  It takes a 
certain amount of knowledge to know how the music works and for those of 
you who know music, this program is great.  My hope is that this will 
become the new AMS.  I find it a much better program and hope to see a 
lot of music files up on boards.  On to the DOCS...

OK...There may be more...like a way to play the part you are working on 
without loading the jukebox...A few notes:

First of all you position yourself here you want to put your note...Then 
you key in all extra specifications (i.e., dotted, tied, flat, 
etc.)...Lastly, you type n the number corresponding to the length of the 
note you want and the note will sound and appear on the stave.

You should use a different voice every time you want more than one note 
to sound at the same time.  For example if you want a middle C and a C 
on octave higher to sound at the same time, type in one first, and then 
hit "V" to change to a different voice before typing in these cond note.

I cannot figure out how to use the time mode, but my guess is that it 
only works with the original full disk version...

Try some weird stuff with the slur mode...It's kind of original.

Have fun and upload new BSMW files to Rick's Place.
