When you enter with the number keypad at school do you get pitchless
(yellowish-brown) notes?
If you do get pitchless notes then I can see that this would have a
didactic purpose in drilling note-names when entering the notes by
keypresses A...G, but it feels rather slow and clunky - you get the note
sounding twice if you have to enter it first then sharpen or flatten it
after. And the command (*) for saying "make the next note sharp/flat"
doesn't seem to apply for this way of entering the notes (is that
right?).
I just tried this method by unplugging my MIDI keyboard - I expected it
to enter pitched notes but it didn't until I changed the preferences to
turn off rhythm-entry.
I'm just afraid people without MIDI keyboards may be very badly served
for no very good reason.
