I’m a newbie of 2 weeks standing, but am managing to create music. (At present using the free version – sorry!)
I’m not complaining here, so don’t take this the wrong way! I think it is a great product, and I will stick with it.
I’ve found it heavy going in some areas, and some of this is due to the guide. In one sense it is well-written (accurate, unambiguous), but not quite what novice users want imho (in spite of the Getting Started section).
From my own subject area (writer of programming texts) it is the difference between:
– ‘The XYZ Programmers Reference’
– ‘Learn to program in XYZ’
Here is an example. P62 says:
‘Clicking on an already selected event will only deselect other events
when you release the button. This allows you to click on a multiple event selection and drag
them to a new position. Ctrl+clicking an event will toggle selection of that event and preserve
selections of other events.’
This is correct, yes? And covers every case, Yes?
But what I needed was:
‘To make a multiple selection, hold the ctrl key and click on some events.’
This doesn’t exactly cover every case (when the first selection is selected already – but that is visually apparent) but it is clearer, I suggest.
I plan to do some simple videos (more basic than the current ones), but wondered if other users thought that an extensive ‘How Do I…’ section in the user-edited wiki would be worthwhile.
