insert a two key note?

i am new to music, period. i am trying to record down Canon in D (Harp) from my lighted key piano because i lost the music book.

i am trying to insert a note that pressed two piano keys at once, how do i do this without a using midi inputs? thank you

"without using midi inputs" tells me that you want to enter the note from the computer keyboard, corrrect?  If so, position the cursor to the right of the note head to whose stem you wish to add a 2nd note and key Ctrl-Enter rather than simply Enter.  You can add several notes to one stem this way unless the notes are of different time values, then you are limited to 2 or 3 additional notes (I think).

If you mean playing the notes from a keyboard through a MIDI interface into the computer, simply play both notes at the same time.  If you are adding notes to a previously recorded or key-entered staff from a MIDI keyboard, you need to record the added notes into a new staff, which you can then layer with the previously recorded staff.
