To me it is inconvenient because when I use Speed Entry with an external keyboard, I keep my eyes on the screen and don't look at the keyboard. If I hit a wrong note when entering music, my ears warn me, so I can play the right note before it is entered. If I play the wrong note in Sibelius, the wrong note goes into the score, so I have to stop and fix it. That slows down the process. it is easier and faster to detect a wrong note and correct it at the keyboard than to edit the score. Could one edit a wrong note in Sibelius as fast and easily as moving a finger to an adjacent key in the keyboard?
