My setup is MIDI keyboard to my left, perpendicular to the computer keyboard and monitor. Left hand on the MIDI keyboard, right hand on the number keypad makes for very fast note entry. As the MIDI keyboard is full-size 88 keys, I can instantly enter any note in any octave, plus of course when th

That's funny - I use Speedy also, but I select the value on the QWERTY, then press the pitch on the midi. Maybe you're not using a midi keyboard? So for me, it's note value first, then pitch. However, "pitch first" is great for banjos! I've gotten to be pretty adept at using 2 keyboards. I also ha

Totally agree. The only difference for me is that I use Speedy with my computer keyboard as a 3-octave keyboard (z-m, a-j, q-u) to select the pitch, rather than arrow keys. Very quick and efficient, and one of the main reasons I haven't been tempted by other notation apps. Aaron. On Wed, Feb 17

And the biggest reason for my use of Speedy entry is - pitch first, then note value. I can't wrap my head around the opposite way. Perhaps if Simple were to have that option, I'd have reason to consider changing. Chuck Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 17, 2016, at 2:52 PM, Mike Greensill wrote:

I think many of the people who have used Finale or a while use Speedy, with or without a midi keyboard (in my case it's with). It used to be Make Music's recommended method, and that's what we got used to and developed the habits. Latterly it would seem that Simple entry has been improved consi

I use "speedy" with a midi keyboard and find it's very, very quick for entering notes. Apparently the 'powers that be' at Finale much prefer "simple" but I just don'y see it myself. My biggest fear is that someday they'll dump "speedy". I use templates that I've created for almost all my projects
