+ When you first run Fillmore, you will be presented with a window with three
+ sections: Track Header on the left, Timeline in the middle and Library on
+ on the left. The first task you will want to do is adjust the project
+ properties.
+
+ From the File menu, select Settings. This displays the Project Properties
+ dialog. If you are recording music and want a metronome, select your time
+ signature and tempo. If you do not want a metronome, deselect the checkbox
+ "During record."
+
+ Next, you will want to add audio. You can add audio to your project in two
+ different ways.
+
+ * Drag audio: Drag audio files from the file manager either to a track on
+ the timeline or into the library. You will only hear audio for clips that
+ are on a track.
+
+ * Record audio: Before launching Fillmore, plug a device for sound input
+ into your computer. In the Sound Preferences dialog, select this device
+ as the default input device. Launch Fillmore. Press the big red
+ button to record. To select which track is active for recording, select
+ the desired track by clicking in the track header area next to the track.
+ You can also click on the ruler to choose the time to start recording.
+
+ Next, may want to position the audio on the timeline. You can change the
+ duration and location of the clips by dragging the clips.
