    Work though the very first tutorial in the documentation to learn the basics, like playing a project.

    Cheers

    IIRC tutorial #4 is about using soft synths, which is the way to hear the notation played with an instrument.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

    Here's the nickel tour. 
     
    The staff view is linked to the track view.  You must have at least one MIDI track inserted before you can even open the staff view.  You will notice that any notes you place on the staff view creates a MIDI note event on the related MIDI track.  You can even open this track in Piano Roll View for more detailed editing.
     
    Just head over to track view and point those MIDI tracks at some virtual instrument like Cakewalk Studio Instruments, Rapture Session, or TTS-1.  Use the 'Insert > Soft Synth' function to add the instrument track you need, then choose a preset sound.
     
    The MIDI track output should list the available instruments that you have inserted in the project.  Just select the one that you want to hear play back your song.
     
    If you haven't read the tutorials yet, that is probably a good place to start...

    DAW: CbB; Sonar Platinum, and others ...
