When using a graphical music editor to type music in from a score, this is what you spend most time doing: *Look at the score, see that the next note is A and it's 1/8. *Look back at the screen to locate the note palette. *Mouse over to the palette and pick up the eighth. *Mouse back to the staff and click on the second space up. When touch-typing abc you don't spend much time looking at the screen, so the equivalent is: *Look at the score, see that the next note is A and it's 1/8. *Hit the Shift and A keys without taking your eyes off the score. No competition. Of course if you are entering a tune out of your head the difference is much less, but even so I think abc has the edge. The only faster way to get music into a computer is to play it on a midi keyboard, and even then you are usually going to have to do a lot of post entry editing.
