Graham, maybe we should modify this first example so the user
output is
exactly the same as the version printed in the tutorial.
I'm not opposed to this; I've gone back and forth on the issue
myself. To be honest, biggest reason that I haven't changed it
already is that
{c d e f g...}
are in the bass clef range, so we either introduce \clef bass at
the very beginning, or have huge ledger lines in the treble clef.
You can leave the excersice as it is, only tell the student what he
is going to see as a result and, in the next step, explain how to
change the different values, like the time signature, octave, clef,
etc. In this way, one can fiddle with the music and learn.
I've added this to my list of easy jobs for people interested in
helping. (I'll probably post it tomorrow)
Cheers,

For me as an "absolute beginner" the tutorials - the pdf as well as
the htlm and even the new french one - are sometimes useful and
sometimes not. My main difficulty arises from not knowig where to
write a prescribed instruction. Something is being taken for granted
which I should be able to learn before going so far.
I gather that I should start a document writing the version number; I
suppose that I should then keep going from the general to the
particular but, since many things are preset defaults, I would only
need to specify those things as are different.
