First off, I apologize for mistaking you for a she earlier. I agree with you that there should be an "I - know- what - I - am - doing, so - do - not - interfere" mode of input as well.
Or at least a plug-in whereby you do all the tedious work of entering the repeated pitch 8th note triplets as you want them and then select that section and run the plug-in and end up with the notation you want. It should be easy to accomplish what you want, but unfortunately it's not. David H.
