• Measure   : a measure is the starting point of everything, you must create a measure and then insert chords, notes, etc. into it (those items will be disabled in the menu unless you select an existing measure). A measure has several properties such as the note on top of it, wether it is a bass or guitar measure, etc. Measure properties can be changed by double-clicking on it, the following dialog box appears. The CTRL M shortcut can be used to insert a measure. Note that menu items are now disabled when not available.

• Chord   : chords can be added to a measure (CTRL H), first select a measure (a blue rectangle surrounds it) or an existing chord, then choose Insert Chord. A chord has many properties such as its name, fret, capoed or not, etc, by default, an A is inserted. Chord properties can be changed by double-clicking on it, the following dialog box appears.

• Note   : a note can be inserted in a selected measure or after a selected note. Here we can see that a rhythm linked to the note is automatically added, this is usefull when you write a solo since every note has a duration, so you can easily set a note to be a quarter, an eigth, etc. However, if you do not want/need this behavior, you can unset this option in the Option dialog.

When inserted, you can modify a note by right-clicking on it : a pop menu enables you to modfy note value and to to add alteration (bend and tremolo).

• Rhythm   : Rhythm is never used alone, it has to be linked to a chord or a note (or to words why not). When done, it means this chord has this rhythmic or this note has this duration. A rhythm can be modified by double-clicking on it, the following dialog box appears. [Oops, I've just noticed that I misspelt rhythm on every picture, sorry but I'm too lazy to change them all !)

• Words   : you can add words to a selected measure (CTRL W). When done, clicking on it will select the object (the text appears in blue) and allows edition.
