You can use Staff/Split melody and accompaniment notes. In the dialog box that comes up, just select which staff you want to split, and Musician or Composer will split the notes of that staff into two staves - one with the top melody notes, and the other with the bottom accompaniment notes.

To delete a note, you can select it, then press the "Delete" key on your keyboard. If you're using Musician, you need to be careful about that, though, as you can't add back notes with Musician (you can use "Undo" though to get them back.) If you want to be able to play around with putting in new notes, you'll need to use Composer.

Have fun!
Sherry
