And then once you've actually select a note on the chord, you can use the Cmd+up arrow to select the note above what you've got selected. If you find yourself needing to edit one of the notes within the chord, you can move your cursor over that chord by using your left and right arrows to select a note within that chord. And then the next note is going to be a fifth below that so I'll enter Shift+5. So, I'll hit Shift+3 to add an interval below. So, for example I'll hit B to enter that B flat, it enters it and now the G is going to be a third below that. So, for example, if I want that A, that's a third above F, so I'll press 3 And the B flat is a second above the A, so I'll hit 2 I've got that chord, so now I can enter the next one. Now if I want to add notes to that chord while it's still selected, I'll just press the number that represents the interval above which I want to add. I'm already on the F line, or the F space, I should say, and I'll hit my Return key to enter that note. Or you can move the note cursor onto the line or space that you want to add the note, by using the up or down arrow keys and hit Return.
And then I can press the letter that represents the name of the note. So again, you'll select the value or the duration using a number on your num pad, so 5 for quarter notes. I can also use my computer keyboard to enter chords. That would be Ctrl+up arrow on a PC, and then I'll use my left arrow key to move back over to the bar where I want to start entering notes. So, again, I'll use Cmd+up arrow to move a staff up. So, now I'm going to go back up to the treble clef and we'll talk about entering the chords in the last four measures there a little bit differently. And press my R key to toggle that into a rest. And then I can enter that last rest by either pressing my right arrow to move to the next measure, or I can simply enter a note. And again 6 for a half note, 5 for a quarter note, and I'll enter the rest of those notes. Press 5 for a quarter note, and now I can quickly enter that bass line. Then I'll move on over to the first measure using my arrow keys. Now if I need to enter the bass line, I'll move my cursor down into the bass clef by holding down Cmd and pressing my down arrow.
So I'll go ahead and hit 6 for half note. And in this fourth measure, I'll need to enter a half note.
Now, this is a non-real-time recording, so I can play a chord. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to select the Simple Entry tool, and again I can set my rhythmic value that I'm going to enter, by pressing on a number on the num pad. And I'll do the same thing in this bottom window. And let me make that just a little bigger, so I'll zoom in and that's Cmd+(+) or Ctrl+(+) on a PC. So, I'll go Cmd+E, that'll be Ctrl+E on a PC. Open up the 05_01 Example, and I'm going to go ahead and then tile the two of those, so I'll go Window > Tile Windows, and then I'm going to put them both into scroll view. There's no pick up measure, and we'll add measures later if we need them, so I'll go ahead and click Finish. I'm going to specify initial tempo marking, this is going to be Moderato, and lets set the tempo at about 110 BPM. I'll click my Next button, this is going to be in 2/4 and F major, so I'll click once below the little scroll button. This is going to be kind of the way Mozart did it, so I'll type A la Mozart.
So we're going to notate Twinkle, Twinkle. Let's choose Grand Staff, and I'll click Add, and Next, and now let's add in our score information. But when there are intervals and chords, like in music for piano, it's much easier and faster to use a MIDI keyboard. I often prefer entering notes using a computer keyboard.
