+# DISSCO tutorials (Markdown)
+
+The LASSIE UI has changed since older Documents/* tutorials were written.
+New tutorials live here in Markdown so screenshots and steps can track the current UI.
+
+## Start here
+
+1. Build and launch LASSIE using the project README.
+2. Work through [getting-started.md](getting-started.md) for a first composition.
+3. See [ui-map.md](ui-map.md) for where common controls moved in the current layout.
+
+## Legacy materials
+
+Older tutorial sources under `Documents/` remain for historical reference. Prefer the Markdown guides in this folder when onboarding.
+
+## Contributing screenshots
+
+Embed images next to the guide (`tutorials/images/`) and use relative links. Keep captures cropped to the relevant panel.

+# Getting started with LASSIE
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A working DISSCO / LASSIE build from this repository
+- Sample projects or default templates if shipped with the build
+
+## First session
+
+1. Launch the LASSIE application.
+2. Create or open a project from the current **File** menu (labels may differ slightly from older PDFs).
+3. Locate the main workspace: score/timeline view, object inspectors, and transport controls.
+4. Add a simple object or event and verify it appears in the inspector.
+5. Save the project and re-open it to confirm the round-trip.
+
+## Where things moved
+
+If an older tutorial refers to a panel you cannot find, check [ui-map.md](ui-map.md) and the **View** menu for panes that are now toggleable.

+# LASSIE UI map (current)
+
+Use this as a cheat-sheet when following legacy tutorials that predate the redesign.
+
+| Older name / idea | Where to look now |
+|-------------------|-------------------|
+| Main score view | Central workspace / timeline |
+| Object properties | Inspector / details side panel |
+| Palette / add objects | Toolbar or **Add** / context menu |
+| Transport (play/stop) | Transport bar (often top or bottom) |
+| Project settings | **File** → project/settings or gear icon |
+
+Update this table when layouts change again so tutorials stay accurate without rewriting every screenshot.
