What am I doing?

I've just downloaded the free version and can't start writing a song?  Is there something wrong with the program or am I just really stupid?  I can't figure out how to put a note on the staff...as there is no toolbar with notes, and no options to put notes anywhere.  Somebody please help, how do I start my own composition?

Well, the "Getting Started" section of the Help menu is a good place to, er... get started.

But to answer your specific question - to place a note on the staff, press the Enter key. To place a rest, press the space bar. If you insist on using the mouse, right-click to bring up a context menu, then select note, rest, etc.

Have fun with the program!

Erm... Did you mean "the shareware version"? because free, I think it refers to the player, web plug-in or WinAmp plug-in... which don't allow to write music. Only NWComposer allows this.

Just in case...
