In terms of strain on the fingers and arms, I think that Speedy Entry on the qwerty keyboard is probably more comfortable (though it varies, depending on the music). It takes quite a bit of practice to get really fast at it, but once you do, it's almost as smooth as regular typing. (Incidentally, I don't move my shoulders at all when I type. I had typing class in elementary school, believe it or not, so good technique was drilled into me at an early age.) My only ergonomic issue is that I tend to get sore on the side of my right thumb, from using it on the arrow keys. I could solve that if I were to get some keys with a soft ridge like the space bar has. (Come to think of it, I suppose I could pop the keys off and file them down....) mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
