So I started testing my work. I clicked on the menu items for the hard-coded-notes and it worked. I also did the following: to check this try executing the commands, e.g. type (d-hardcodedA) into the CLI box of the Scheme window and press Return - it should execute the command. And so on for the other names. (That is, prefix the command name with d- and wrap the whole thing in parens () and then execute it). I did it for one hard-coded-note and it worked (it entered the note) but when I tried the keyboard shortcut it didn't work (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-b" <Shft+s>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-bdown" <s>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-bmid" <ctrl+s>)
When I try any shortcut keys that are not standard note entry keys I hear a snare drum and nothing happens (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-a" <A>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-adown" <a>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-amid" <ctrl+ a>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-b" <S>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-bdown" <s>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-bmid" <ctrl+s>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-c" <C>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-c2" <c>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-cdown" <ctrl+c>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-d" <D>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-ddown" <ctrl+d>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-e" <E>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-eup" <e>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-edown" <Ctrl+e>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-f" <F>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-fdown" <f>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-g" <g>) (d-AddKeybinding "hardcoded-gdown" <G>) I did each one and these shortcuts don't work.
