I still disagree with Johannes on speed. The excellent organization of the keyboard in Speedy entry seems to be overlooked. The entire keyboard usage is shifted right from normal touch typing, so that without touching anything but the keys with two hands, music can be entered quickly in Speedy without ever touching the mouse. I agree with David and Dennis on the fact that using the computer keyboard is faster and better designed to use the functionality keystrokes of Finale. Am I overlooking something or does midi keyboard input in Speedy require to go back and shift flat and sharp notes (black keys of the keyboard). It looks to me that it slows things down quite a lot. At worst I would say that computer keyboard is not slower than midi keyboard. But that's the wonderful thing about Finale that makes it superior in term of input over the competition: many different entry methods will still get good results. The other Eric
