Thanks.
For now, I think, a more realistic goal would be adding searchability in the
"manage command set" dialogue.
Such that when you start typing it pulls up the commands containing your typed
string. Also a button (or drop-down) to filter out only the commands that have
(an) assigned keyboard shortcut(s).
That way you can manage the assigned keyboad shortcuts, and generate a list of
such (as in "look-up table"). Right now you've got to scroll through a huge list
of code-looking "words" that are merely synonyms of the descriptors in the menus
(not always instantly recognizable at that). And the existing list can't be
sorted alphabetically or by checked/unchecked (assigned/un-assigned).
Consequently, to uncheck/remove an associated shortcut is quite time-consuming.
there are a few other miscellania that seem like relatively quick fixes.
Improving playback, i think: Instant playback is still quirky, and it would be
supercool, super helpful to have click-playback, and even cursor-right playback
or something like that (to cursor forward from note to note and hear the notes,
at your own, manual cursoring pace). I believe Rosegarden has click-playing,
for example. Right now, in denemo you have to delete and retype a note or
flatten/sharpen it (!) in order to hear it in isolation (outside of automatic
full playback).
It would be ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE to be able to hear a vertical slice of the
music by clicking on a note in that vertical stack (across all the staffs, if
one wishes, or just the vertical stack in a particular staff, depending on
supplemental key (i.e., a Ctrl+click might play across all staffs, while
alt+click would play just the staff you're clicking in))
sorry about getting long-winded and long-wishful.
thanks again for your hard work.
