Well, I'd argue that a mouse makes absolutely no sense for music input. A practised typist can write several hundred words per minute and keep this up for quite a long time. Input the same amount of information with a mouse, and you'll have Repetitive Strain Injury in no time at all. MIDI input would be a good compromise if you are an actual keyboard player: LilyPond's input tool shed is not too impressive here. But MIDI only carries the performance part of the musical information, not the notational part. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
