I agree, PPH, but let's be honest -- we've ALL had to learn MPT "alone" because there was no manual. There has recently been a smattering of WIKI articles, often with missing information, one maybe two tutorials, and the search function of our forums. That's always been the extent of learning the little nuances of ModPlug. (Everlasting gratitude for those who did contribute to the Wiki! :wink: )
FORTUNATELY, like you said, MPT is pretty intuitive if you have any familiarity with tracking or event-editing. But i want to make it easier to bring in new composers to MPT in case something isn't readily obvious, like using macros, understanding and applying Note FX and Channel FX, or instruments vs. samples, to name a few issues.
As a matter of fact, i want to write it in such a way so that, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or veteran, you can instinctively go to the part of the manual that gives you the best help. If you're a veteran, for example, you can skip over the "newbie" stuff without bypassing information that could be helpful. The Reference Section should contain EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING concerning ModPlug Tracker. (Well except for details about the code and how it works!) And plenty of pictures throughout will diminish any confusion from the syntax. And plenty of links between sections in case you need more info.
