If you know the piano keyboard you might also use the sample stack "MIDIBuilder" (included with the Revolution distribution) to generate MIDI files which you could reference in a Player object.

I just looked at this again -- it is really very nice, and has come a ways since the early version I last saw.
I'd like to type notes with my left hand and durations with my right (from the keypad). Then I could type the whole midi sequence. I guess there would have to be some kind of octave toggle though.
Yes; I have used applications which map musical notes to the computer keyboard (such as iPiano). But I felt that the need to invoke keyboard shortcuts to switch octaves is cumbersome. I guess with enough practice....
The keyboard mapping I've seen elsewhere tries to match the home positions of the typist to the home position of the piano keyboard, which isn't what I had in mind. I would be happy with a straight alphabet correlation, since all the keys I need already lie under the left hand. That is, the piano key "A" would be the keyboard "a", the piano "B" would be the keyboard "b".
But when I wrote my request, I didn't take into account the sharps and flats, which wouldn't be easily mapped to my system. And the octave changes would also require some thinking. So, maybe it wasn't such a great idea after all. ;)
