Notator is powerful, but complex! How do I learn more?
Yes, Notator SL is a huge program (well, actually it’s more deserving to call it a complete musical system), and the ‘phone book’ thick manual really is a bit to go through. Many computer users (such as myself) get pretty tired of yet another user manual, so what we do is try to grasp what we can by trying out the program’s various features using the mouse, then looking up the manual for what we don’t understand. However, Notator is such a specialized and complex program that you should at least read through the basics of the user manual, then take it from there. Notator is a power-packed program with features you might never use, so the good thing is that you don’t have to learn everything explained in the manual! Then there’s the mailing list of course, where you can meet other Notator users -some more experienced than others. Who knows, maybe you can learn a thing or two! Lots of simplified user-manuals for Notator have been written in several languages. There’s even a video tutoria
