I've never stopped thinking it's like 'magic' =8 ) - I've been using
LP for the last 2 years.

Oh if you've ever had to transcribe a piece of 'real' music (by real I
mean an old dog-eared printed complete score that's in the 'wrong'
pitch for your instrument) I cannot believe that typing letters on a
keyboard is anything but *significantly* faster than dragging and
dropping graphics on a page, especially if they are peppered with
slurs, dynamics and articulations.
