To clarify about the pedal question:

I usually enter durations in one pass through a phrase or section, then go
back and enter pitches. When I get to chords, I use the pedal to enter all
the notes of a chord simultaneously--and this is very useful. I wish that
the cursor would advance only one note after entering the chord so I could
simply enter the next chord using the same method. Instead I have to arrow
back to get the cursor on the right chord. I'd be interested in other
people's uses of that feature.

and thanks for the phrasing info--that was helpful.
