This also corresponds with the keyboard shortcuts for note durations when 
entering notes in MuseScore.

        https://musescore.org/en/handbook/note-input#keyboard

I guess the MuseScore developers also where inspired by Finale.

In Sibelius it's more like this

1 - 32
2 - 16
3 - 8
4 - 4
5 - 2
6 - 1

And Denemo uses

0 - 1
1 - 2
2 - 4
3 - 8
4 - 16
5 - 32
6 - 64

Correct me if I am wrong, most of this info I just quickly Googled while 
writing this comment.

Personally I quite like the Sibelius mapping where 4=4

Good to be able to adjust the LilyQuick lua code to fit my personal 
preferences. Maybe the different mappings known from Finale, 
MuseScore, Sibelius and Denemo can be added [[-- in a comment 
block --]] in LQkeyboardEvents.lua to make it easy to select. Or maybe 
even a special configuration variable could be created in LQconfig.lua
Something like

NumericInputStyle = "denemo"
[[--
or "finale", "sibelius", "musescore", 
"custom"
--]]


Just a suggestion
