Allow me to make another suggestion. Almost 30 years ago I used a music program on Macintosh. I forgot the name but I think I may still be able to find the 400KB floppy somewhere in my attic :). This program had a way to enter music quite fast. It went like this: Set a default note duration, e.g. quarter. Then, with the mouse, click on the score. A quarter note appears on the spot. This is how all programs work. BUT: without lifting the button, a small drag to the left made the duration shorter: 4 - 8.. - 8. - 8 - 16.. - 16. - 16 etc. Likewise, a small drag to the right made the duration longer: 4. - 4.. - 2 etc. Important is that such a drag changes the duration of this note only. The next note entered will be a quarter again. You could also drag up and down. A small drag up adds a sharp (or a natural if it was a flat, and a further drag adds the sharp). Likewise, a small drag down adds a flat etc. Basically you could drag the note to any pitch. It was possible to enter music at a speed I never managed to accomplish with any of the modern GUI based tools. Maybe this is something to add to denemo? -- Johan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
