time
to adjust the tempo of the song, select the duration of one atomic beep in the box on the left. the number is the amount of milliseconds of one single beep. the smaller the number, the faster the song.

selection
use the shift-key on your keyboard combined with left mouse button to set the start of the selection. shift + right mouse button sets the end. you can toggle whether the selection is highlighted or not. in off-state the edit functions like copy, paste and delete do not have any effect. in on-state the play-, repeat- and code-function refers to the selected area. a paste-command will overwrite existing following notes, if the clipboard content is longer than the selected area.

paste
a paste command pastes the clipboard content beginning at the start of the current selection. existing notes will be replaced. there is no insert function, sorry ;). you can choose to paste notes, layout or both.

insert/delete columns
while pressing the left control-key on your keyboard, the right mouse button pops up a little menu from where you can add and remove columns.
