Hi, Marion:

Welcome to Notation software products.

One trick to easier note placement with the mouse is to enlarge the view. Use the magnifying glass + or - icons on the right side of the toolbar to set a view you're comfortable with. The bigger the view, the easier to accurately place notes.

There is a bit of a learning curve with Composer, but compared to other similar programs, it's a gentle one.

Good luck.

David
