If you have ever found yourself creating a script to do a repetitive task and found that at one point in it you want it to stop for a moment and let you enter something (e.g. a note or a duration, ornament ...) then I just noticed a very neat bit of Scheme that does just that:
((eval-string (d-GetCommand))) if you place this in a script when it comes to evaluate it the script waits for you to press a keyboard shortcut (that's the d-GetCommand bit) and when you have it executes it and continues with the script. In my case I was editing a long score which I had imported via SharpEye and it had missed out all the grace notes. I turned on Check Pitches and started playing through the score. Each time it stopped because of a grace note I invoked a script that inserted the grace note - by incorporating this line I was able to type the note name before it had applied the slur and gone on to the next note. This way I get a really smooth workflow. d-GetCommand is for keyboard shortcuts, there is a way of intercepting the MIDI keyboard too, but in this case I had switched to the PC keyboard to invoke the script.
