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.
