I do use that method still. I find it's not a lot quicker, but is a
bit less error prone, for my purposes. When I do "relative" entry
from the computer keyboard, I make a lot of octavation errors.
But I agree with David that it needs better intelligence about
enharmonic notes -- if I weren't doing Renaissance music, which has a
lot higher percentage of "white notes" than later styles, I might well
decide that fixing the enharmonics was taking as much time as I was
saving on the octavation errors.
Another thing I'd really like added to this input method is a way to
hear the MIDI notes.
