<P>
This document is provided as an aid for the new
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> user to get
started in a easy, gentle manner. It is a supplement to the main
reference manual.
<P>
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> is a complex and powerful program. We don't intend to show each
and every possible command in this tutorial; we'll be quite happy if
we show enough of the basics to get you started! And, please, read the
reference manual!
<P>
We hope to cover the following topics:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Installing
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> on your system,
<P>
</LI>
<LI>A step-by-step example showing how to create a simple backing
track,
<P>
</LI>
<LI>An example showing how to create a library file.
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
The examples may include songs which are probably <SPAN CLASS="textbf">not</SPAN> in the
public domain. Certainly &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; should be public domain,
but isn't. User's should note<A NAME="tex2html1"
HREF="#foot213"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">1</SPAN>.<SPAN CLASS="arabic">1</SPAN></SUP></A> that the
copyrighted songs in this document are examples only. It is probably
not legal for you to copy it or play them. If this document is
violating copyright by including any of the sheet music used in the
examples, please let us know and it will be removed.
<P>
The example files in this text are included in the distribution in the
<TT><SPAN CLASS="textbf">egs/tutorial</SPAN></TT> directory.
