Hello Dennis, Chuck, David, Noel and others,
Thank you for all the good advice. I said earlier that I unable to use
the speed entry tool. Someone told me to put Midi off, as otherwise I
would only be able to enter rests. Actually, I couldn't enter anything
(notes nor rests). Following this advice, I put Midi off and now I can
at least enter rests using the numbers which are above my keyboard (for
example, 4 is a quarter rest, 5 is a half rest ...), so we are making
steady progress. However, I can still not enter any notes. Perhaps it is
not possible to use speed entry on a notebook, although I think that I
read somewhere a while ago that there has to be a function somewhere in
Windows that lets you work on a regular notepad keyboard as if it were a
keyboard for a desktop; I think - but am not sure - that n m ,
correspond to 1, 2 3 and u i o to 8 9 0 if this function is turned on. I
might be wrong about this though.
Does anyone know about this? Why can I not enter notes? Best regards, Will
I enter notes on my notebook all the time -- use the top line numbers
for the note/rest values, use the cursor arrows to move the cursor
up/down, left/right, and it works like a charm.
In the Speedy Entry menu, be sure Use Midi Device For Input is
UNchecked. Do NOT try to use the embedded numeric keypad -- use the
top-row keys.
