I've done qwerty-Speedy long enough that I rarely lose track of where my hand is. Even so, I think it would be nice if there were an option for qwerty-Speedy to play the pitch as it is entered. Not like real playback, just a short beep of the right pitch. That way I would immediately know if my hand slipped and I could catch it before entering several bars of notes displaced by a second. It could also be a nice reminder when I need an accidental, in case I'm about to overlook one.
I would want the pitch sound when the entry is created (ie, typing a number key), not when the cursor moves (ie, a letter key). I'd also have the pitch sound any time a note is altered with the plus or minus (or the "9", I suppose, though I almost never use that one).
And just to finish it off, there ought to be a little menu that lets you pick volume, timbre, etc, of the beep, so that each of us can pick a sound that is pleasing and not grating.
I expect I'd use this option during my main note entry, but then turn it off when I'm doing little edits and fixes.
I don't know when they added it (I think it's been there forever), you can check off PLAYBACK in the speedy entry menu and it will sound the pitch you are entering or altering. It's there in WinFin2004 and in WinFin2005.
