 # Composition
 Manage your compose sequences
 
+## Usage
+
+The program takes in `.compose` "fragment" files containing compose sequences (see examples in `/sample-fragments`).
+
+You can then view all sequences and select the sequences or sequence groups you want to use and export it to a single `.XCompose` file.
