It seems like Live now looks for Lessons in a different place, so I put together a similar way to write your own Lessons. However, these are global Lessons for Live & don't work for individual projects. This can still come in handy, for instance, I'm going to make a list of popular chord progressions that will be quick to view inside the program.
Unzip this file into your "Lessons" folder (a subfolder of your "Library") & the tutorial will be added to default Lessons. You need to keep the subfolders where they are. It's just a couple text files & won't overwrite any existing files.

If all goes well, open Live 5, click View>Lessons & you should see 'Notes to Self' above the default Lessons. Then you can learn to add your own.
Here is the text, if you don't want to download:
Due to the way the viewer worked I has to spell out $ as 'dollarsign' and / as 'backslash'. Also, 'whatever' mean literally whatever you want it to be, the * wouldn't appear.$Page How To Add Lessons
/How To Add A New Lesson./
Create a new folder in your Library folder named:
whatever Category
Create a new folder in your "whatever Category" folder named:
whatever Lessons
Create a txt file in the "whatever Lessons" folder named:
LessonsEN.txt
You can view your notes in any project by going to the "View" menu and choosing "Lessons".
You may also create a file in your Category folder named "CategoryDescriptionEN.txt" to add... guess what?... a category description!
/Editing The LessonsEN.txt Content/
To make a page with a title, type:
'dollarsign'Page whatever
To display text in bold, type:
'backslash'whatever'backslash'
Everytime you save the txt file and reopen Live, the content will be updated.
You do not need to save anything to that Live set.
This is a non-destructive method.
If you wish to remove the lesson, just delete the "whatever Lessons" folder & it's txt file.
If you want to include pictures, you will have to save them as tif files & they have to be IBM (Intel) encoded.
On Mac you can convert any picture with the included app called "Graphic Converter"
On Windows there shouldn't be any problems, figuring it's a Windows format.
To include these pictures in your set, throw them in the "whatever Lessons" folder
& type the image file name into your txt file.
Cheers.

Hopefully this topic hasn't already been covered.
Please let me know if this helps you out or if anything needs editing.
I haven't tried to insert an image, but I assume it still works the same way.
