To create a new document with EW Notator you need a document with an empty staff. An empty staff appears every time you start EW Notator. Several document templates with different staff formats are available. You may choose New to open a document window with another type of staff or to create a blank document without a staff.
Before you start writing EW Symbols, you need to have a staff on your page. In case you created a blank document, use Insert Staff to display the staff dialog and to define a staff with the number of limb groups and limbs you require. After you close the dialog box, the staff will be placed in the document with some empty columns.
To insert symbols into the staff, use the Simple Symbols window, or the Compound Symbols bar. To add more columns to the staff, choose Insert Columns. To insert a bar line at the right side of a cell, choose Insert Bar Line or choose one of the options in the Bar Line tab of the Cell Properties window.
After placing various items into the document, you can print and save your work.
