I find it's not a lot quicker, but is a bit less error prone, for my purposes. When I do "relative" entry from the computer keyboard, I make a lot of octavation errors. But I agree with David that it needs better intelligence about enharmonic notes -- if I weren't doing Renaissance music, which has a lot higher percentage of "white notes" than later styles, I might well decide that fixing the enharmonics was taking as much time as I was saving on the octavation errors. Another thing I'd really like added to this input method is a way to hear the MIDI notes. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 http://www.laymusic.org/ http://www.serpentpublications.org Copyright law has abandoned its reason for being: to encourage learning and the creation of new works.
