摘要：This study investigates the relationship between two types of documentation: performance outcomes (timeand accuracy), access to manuals and user's perceptions during the process of learning a music score editorprogram. An empirical study was carried out with undergraduate university music students (n=30) with bothlow and no previous computer experience. The researcher created two versions of the same manual: onegroup was given a minimalist print manual (PM). The other group was given a minimalist hypermedia manual(HM), which contained procedural information in the digital video format.The results show that the HM group scored better in near and far transfer tasks and accessed their manualless (frequency and time) than the PM group. Another finding was that the PM group would have preferredworking with the hypermedia manual to a greater degree than the interest shown by theHM group in theprint manual.The research findings show an effect of the hypermedia manual in learning outcomes, access to manuals andusers' perceptions which may have been due to the confluence of several factors whichdifferentiate themanuals. Firstly, the procedural information included in the hypermedia manual was exclusively video. Thehypermedia manual approached a modelling of the student using a presentation modalitythat fitted betterwith the type of learning sought; it produced extra time during training and a betterassimilation of taskprocedures by users. Secondly, the design of the interface -with limited control elements, fast access toinformation and a low complementary interaction between presentation modalities- minimized the potentialcognitive overload and allowed the user to start working rapidly
