Sure you can. I do it all the time. It's a great way to compose,
actually, writing the rhythms and maybe an approximate contour, then
go back and choose the pitches. I can only do it with a pencil,

But I think you two are talking apples and oranges. John was
discussing copying, implying that you already know what you are
putting down on paper.
Actually, I was discussing copying as well. I hadn't thought about it,
but I can certainly see why duration first might be useful for a
composer. That's an important distinction. Good thing Finale allows for
both, as we keep coming back to.
