The people I know who claim to be really fast in Finale use the right
hand on the MIDI keyboard and the left hand on the numeric keypad to
enter note lengths. I used to have a setup a little like this when I
was using Cakewalk, and I can easily imagine it would have advantages
over what I currently do in ABC. Most obviously that you don't have
to do anything different with your fingers to get into a different
octave. In ABC, I think I'm faster when I'm typing in the octave that
doesn't use the capital letters, and I'm certainly faster when I don't
have to enter the commas or the apostrophes.
So is anyone working on an ABC application that allows this?
