After Tyler clarified some of the advantages of the new Simple, I've been playing around with it some, although (like you) I am not yet a convert from my usual method (Speedy w/o MIDI). I'm hardly expert at this, but it does seem that Simple lacks a command for 'Flip enharmonic'.

From the Simple menu, choose Simple Entry Options, then Edit Keyboard Shortcuts. Find 'Accidental: Show/Hide Courtesy' and either redefine the shortcut, or add a second one which you like better.
(I've used this feature to redefine the ranges Q-U, A-J, and Z-M all as the pitches, C-B, to match what I'm used to in Speedy. I know that it doesn't work exactly the same way, but it's a useful crutch while I find my way around. Perhaps Coda could consider including something like this as an additional Simple key template for people who are switching from Speedy, in the same way that MS Word used to (still does?) include a set of shortcuts for those switching from WordPerfect.)
