Re: [Denemo-devel] Question about developing notation software for solfeggio

[Joe Wilkinson]

Some observations.

I have created a pallette with Labels C+> etc & the given short script 
for each, and this seems to work. I have a job to do transcribing some 
movements of a Britten symphony and I am intriqued as to whether this is 
quicker than my usual combination of keys to give tone and keys to give 
duration & spaces etc. So will continue to experiment.

I am getting some odd effects from the + and - keys.

My Keypad + and - are fine for sharpening./flattening an existing note. 
But don't work as prefixes.

My keys next to Backspace are :   _above-,  +above=    and then backspace.

Shifted, they behave like the keypad (just seen the Edit Note 
Shift+equal+Add, so that is documented)

Unshifted, they act as presetters, indefinitely, not just for the next 
note**

So if I press ==, i.e. double equals, unshifted, all notes from there on 
are doublesharps (or single sharp if they should be a flat.

I am not sure this is particularly sensible (though I haven't consulted 
the manual to find out if it documented this way).

**PS I have on several occasions nearly torn my hair out because to stop 
this happening (I have only just analysed it properly) I have had to 
turn Denemo off and then on again.

PPS is there a combination of keys that pre-transposes notes up or down? 
I have had Hans' problem entering an e and getting D and having to 
specify f to get the E. It has happened on several occasions in the past 
and I thought it was just me. Again it disappears after closing the file 
and denemo and reopening (so I am not sure that a copy of the offending 
file would help, if I can recreate it).
