Re: [Denemo-devel] Edit Mode

[Nils Gey]

I have just finished my composition work compiled the changes from the last 
days, and started with a fresh .denemo.

How am I supposed to enter durations directly on cursor-position now (old: 
Classic Mode)?
I don't user any other input method or edit method. (formerly known as "Modes")
