I see only 4 of the notes I played, although some of them seem 
to appear in the lower rows...

This *may* not be the case, as I just tried it
and it recorded my notes OK,and I did not need to 
set the arrow keys at the bottom which indicates 
how many notes are in the row.... but I had to play 
my notes *firmly* and *slowly*. Also..there might be 
a problem with Yamaha Keyboards because they tend to 
send  extra sysex data when you play it. Ludwig would 
not work at all on my Yamaha PSR510. However, it worked 
fine from my Ensoniq Mirage keybrd. However, with my DX7s (
which I am now using as a controller) It works, but if I 
play too fast, Ludwig does not catch it. So try playing 
AMBIENTLY :-)


From the Tutorial:

Rythym is dealt seperatly in Ludwig as well as velocity. When you
are done, hit the space bar.You will see the notes you played in the
highlighted area.Select PLAY to hear them back. (You can also
select notes with the mouse instead of using a MIDI keyboard).

Dr Ambient asks:

Can I only select or can I enter notes with the mouse?

Other points: from reading the manual on Non-real time Pitch Entry:

============================================================

"To create a pitch pattern, simply click on the desired note name(s) 
in each chord colmn. The notes will be highlighted.You can enter 16 
notes per chord. you can of course just enter one note per chord to 
create a melody.A chord can have NO NOTES as well, creating a rest.

To cancel a note you have entered, simply left click on it again.

When the pitch editor first comes onto the screen, the display shows 
the pitch range from c3 to c4.To access notes above or below this range,
hold down the CONTROL key and click inside the four dots that appear 
at the top of the chord colomn.

Left clicking transposes the display down one step.Right clicking 
transposes the display UP one step.

Shift-right/left clicking will transpose the display by octaves 
instead of steps.

Once you have entered a note in the colomn, you can transpose the 
note(s)up aor down by simply by clicking into the region between 
the four dots. Lrft click for down, roght click for Up.

If you Shift-click in this area once you have enetered some notes, 
the notes will be transposed by octaves.

ALT-Right click, the chord beneath the four dots you clicked on 
will be copied onto the chord of its immeadiate right. ALT-Left 
Clicking will copy to the left.

Finally, there is a pair of arrows under one of the colomns.You can 
click below any colomn to place the arrows there. They mark the last 
colomn in the pitch group.Colomns to the right will not be played.
============================================

Hope this helps
