Of course, there are many features in the software, but this one can be easily missed - hidden as it is on the bottom of the page. The layer feature is especially helpful in contrapuntal textures (several melodies occurring at the same time). Use layers to notate parts that are independent in some way, like the melody and bass lines. (The notes usually appear in four different colors so you can tell them apart.) The notes in each layer must add up to the number of beats in the measure. The small numbers - 1, 2, 3, and 4 - can be clicked on to notate four different layers of music in each measure. One feature of NotePad that may not be obvious is cleverly hidden in the bottom left-hand corner - the layer feature. If you're a student or teacher, you may be eligible for an educational discount. If you like its features and want to upgrade to get more, there are various options and price ranges available to you. It's a very watered-down version of the full flagship Finale product, but it's a great place to start. I'm guessing that you'll find Finale NotePad fairly easy to use.
