Ok, maybe not so easy after all. I'm trying to entry notes using Simple Entry. I choose a half note from the palette and try to put the note on the staff, however, I just get a "bling" sound and nothing is entered. How do I get it to stop "blinging" and actually put the note in where it is supposed to go?
Thanks,
M.

Oh never mind. I now see that the measure has been already filled with rests (not sure how this happened), so it probably thinks there's no more space left. Hence the blinging.

There's an option to automatically fill a measure with rests when you leave. If that ends up being a hindrance rather than a help, you can turn it off.
