 Activity 2:  Browse through the various menus in Sibelius, viewing, especially, the submenus under each feature. Check yourself off on the Worksheet when done. List three features you discovered from your browsing that you think might be very useful to you for a notation project you want to do.

 Activity 3: Using the sample song provided, first use the Wizard to set up the layout for the music. Save your work using the Save option in the File menu or the toolbar. Now explore the various View options, and adding key signatures and clefs and time signatures (don't save any of this--just fool around to practice). Finally, practice adding and deleting measures or bars to the music. Check yourself off on the Worksheet when done. Describe any problems you encountered; and, discuss briefly how you solved them.

 Activity 4: Enter all of the vocal line including the ending repeat barline from the song provided. Don't worry about the expressive elements. Check yourself off when this is done. List any problems you had and what steps you took to resolve them.

 Activity 5: Enter the notes for all of the music. Use the skills learned above to make minor changes to the positioning of rests, slurs, and notes where needed. Adjust for the cross-over notes in measure 5. Use the Play button in the toolbar to play your music; use your ear to proofread the notes for any mistakes. Then save your work. Check yourself off for completing this step; share any problems and how you solved them. 

 Activity 6: Enter all of the lyrics. Then save your work. Check yourself off for completing this step; share any problems and how you solved them. 

 Activity 7: Finish notating the Ford song score. When you are done it should look identical to the score shown in the Tutorial. Print out the score using the Print option under the File menu or on the toolbar. Check yourself off on the Worksheet and turn the printout in with your work.
