Hi, I'm new to CDLC creation and I've started work on my first song, and I have virtually no clue how to use EOF. Can someone tell me how to add notes, arrange them, and add effects? (Sustains, slides, bends, etc.)

 

Stuck right now because I can't get slides to work.

There are many tutorials here, but if you want to limit your reading check these two out:

Regarding slides:

Left click a note to select it.

Mouse scroll up/down to change the note length (or press "[" and  "]"  )

Press CTRL+UP for a slide to a higher note.  A popup box will ask where you want the slide to end.

Press CTRL+DOWN if you want to slide to a lower note.

You could also start by using a good GP file of a song you know well.  Import it to EoF and see what happens with all the different kinds of notes.
