Q:  What's the best way to learn how to use MidiIllustrator?
A:  MidiIllustrator is designed so that you can get to know the program in two quite different ways:

1) You can jump right into MidiIllustrator by selecting commands from MidiIllustrator’s menus and toolbars:
The Launch Screen shows a variety of the program's most popular tasks.  Alternatively, choose 'Open' from the 'File' menu and import one of the sample MIDI files included with MidiIllustrator - the 'Score Wizard' will guide you.  Hover over the toolbar buttons to see a 'tooltip' which indicates the purpose of the button.  At the same time, you will see more information about each command in the 'Status Bar' at the bottom of the screen.  Feel free to experiment!  You can always undo changes to the score by clicking on the 'Undo' command in the 'Edit' menu.
