Certainly we do not need it in Denemo, for many years it was not an option. > Instead (as with Finale) use the computer > keyboard for three octaves defined with > > qwertyu > asdfghj > zxcvbnm > > maybe in combination with caps lock to enter the notes.

For this you need to create commands to enter specific notes, such as c'' - the commands in the menus at present only do such things as "Enter the nearest C to the cursor". These commands would be fairly easy to write and then you could give them the shortcuts you wish. for example the script to move the cursor to middle c (that is c'' in LilyPond notation) is (d-CursorToNote "c''") So the script to insert a middle C quarter note would be (d-CursorToNote "c''") (d-Insert2) or another example (d-CursorToNote "e") (d-PutNote) would insert the note e in the prevailing duration. (If you have previous pressed + or - you will get the note sharpened or flattened). You place scripts like these in the View->Scheme window and then right click on a place in the menu system where you would like to create a new command that executes the script (choose Save Script as New Menu Item). You get to choose to put these in a sub-menu, (a good idea), and once there you can assign short cuts as usual.
