Pascal (I don't know whether it's his real name) has posted a good idea to the discussion board (http://sourceforge.net/p/scidb/discussion/): annotated PGN file documenting & demonstrating SCID arrows and square marks. Feel free to add it to the SCIDB source tree, so first time users don't start out with a totally empty database. I will use his PGN game (attached) as a start for a tutorial database, future release will include this tutorial database. Probably this is of interest for you.
