Yeah same here ... I like to see how it sounds... but nowadays my midi out goes crazy and most songs play like a noise music...

So creating the staccato you need to click on the articulation tool (it is a circle with a kind of decrescendo sign above it). After that you click above or belove the specified note and an articulation selection page is going to pop up and you can choose out of 25 different articulations like accent, staccato, or fermata.

Hope that helped if you need more clarifying just ask...

Youre welcome.
Well the Notepad has a pretty good help file ... I usually look through the expression I am looking for... first I did not care too much I just painted the dots below but then I figured it is better for the playback to have them.

Just one more thing: the 8va mark and the cleg change, how do you do that?
thanks
