Thank you Karen for your friendly feedback, questions
and voting support.

Play is ok. Our work should be more playful ;-)

The improved audio-feedback versus a simple
click-sound is indeed
not at all off-topic.

touch-sensitivity, >weighted vs. non-weighted keys,
etc.  Can one chord on one >keyboard mean A, while on
another keyboard mean B?

No problem, if we give the user a chance to setup
their own 
touch-threshold and we take only two volume levels
(for the crude start). Everybody should be able to
have at least two different
touch levels. Soft and Strong on touch sensitive
keyboards.
Normally you can have 127 levels in Midi.

together.

You could use your nose, hey or compose special input
patterns for a play for two :-)
Of course we have to find a convenient input style.

If you can understand German, the following link might
interest you: http://urkunde.stenografie.com
For English speaking peers, who don't use the Wikalong
plugin for firefox, here's what I just annotated
there:
"Is there somewhere an equivalent for the English
variant of shorthand? Please leave your note in
ShortHand conventions?
