I'm just saying that just because the study may be valid, it

Why would you find it important or necessary to say so?
Well, you know, just because! Why are YOU so implicated in the
conversation? You keep saying you don't have a dog in this race. I
do; it's my own practice, which I am constantly trying to improve and
speed up. I'm not convinced that the study concluding mousing is
faster applies to me using Finale, and I already gave the reasons why
I think so. People on the list can read that, or not, and try it
themselves, or not, and maybe improve their own speed, or not. That's
what the list is for, isn't it?
Who has made any assertion to the contrary?
Why nobody! I imagine, though, that the topic has garnered such
interest because everyone has their own way of working that DOESN'T
include constant mousing. If I had found that more mouse than not was
actually faster, I would have shared it with everyone in the hopes of
helping them out too. Just like when I discover a new (for me)
feature that improves workflow.
However I DID say that I wasn't as slowed down by the mouse as I
thought I was. That might be of general interest to all (especially
those who aren't as anal as I am and devise their own time trials.)
