lower case "a" changes the note at the cursor to A, Shift-A, Shift-A (or a,a with caps lock on) inserts the note A in the current duration. You can see the shortcuts set on the relevant menu. (So for inserting a note look in the menu Notes/Rests->Note Insertion). If you are not using a MIDI keyboard then you can insert using a duration key, which is a single key stroke. > > (2) undo: sometimes "undo" simply fails (and throws me into a big > panic).

Yes, Undo is buggy (sorry) ... if you create a completely reproducible example it is worth creating a bug report for it. (Completely reproducible means starting with File->New and then xx, yy, zz,..., Undo. Or some such thing). (The problem is, I virtually never use Undo, so I never get to know of simple cases where it doesn't work). > > (3) scrolling: scrolling is frantic sometimes and imposing.

And then it only changes what is drawn. It simply aborts and starts again if you move the cursor during the period when it would be active. I just looked and I don't see a pref for turning it off :( > And when I arrow forward, Do you mean the right arrow keypress, assigned to MoveCursorRight? Are you holding it down (thereby triggering the key repeat feature). I can imagine that giving trouble. I think something would have to be done to stop Denemo re-drawing when a large number of keypresses are coming in. Try Ctrl-right arrow to move a bar at a time. > wishing to progress > just a couple of bars, denemo scrolls forward too much, and then > sometimes it does it on its own; that is your repeat key thing I guess - you have piled up a queue of right arrow keypresses that > then I've got to scroll back, and > that's very sluggish... yada-yada.

Look further down the same tab, set the tooltip timeouts to some large values.
