This was asked a couple of weeks ago, Beatles I want to Hold your Hand, was No 1 just before Christmas and the next chart wasn't published until 16 Jan 1964

Lie-in King, how do you get the music symbols - please?!

[Lie-in King]

Hi boxtops! Hold down "Alt", then enter 14 on the numeric keypad (not the numbers above the keyboard)
