) fill the measure with rests representing the rhythmic pattern of the music you wish to enter, using numeric keys, either on the keypad, or on the top row of the "regular" keyboard;
2) place the speedy entry cursor upon each rest in succession, and use the up / down arrows to specify the pitch(es) to be assigned where each rest holds the place, and press the "enter" key. NOT NECESSARY. I just entered 75+ or so pages with my notebook computer using speedy and no MIDI kbd. There is NO need to "pre-enter rests." Just slide the entry cursor up or down to the desired note and hit the REGULAR NUMBER for the duration. NO NEED for separate numeric keypad. NO NEED for fn-alt-ctrl-shift ANYTHING. And I can do it speedily. Perhaps not as quickly as other techniques, but fast enough to suit me, and I can do it in the car if someone else is driving. ;-)
