The script worked for me. The loop you are talking about was the loop 
that listens for keyboard input. I am not sure how I am able to allow 
users to go back and forth between listen to portions of the score and 
entering notes. Would the user select a range and hit f5 or whatever is 
bound to playback. What will I do when they want to enter the note or 
notes that they have heard in the playback. How do I tell denemo to 
start this listening (listen for specific keys "a,b,c,d,e,f,g") loop? 
Should maybe a quit button stop the loop?

I just thought of another music education idea. The user could see 
fakechords like Fis7, Emaj7, Amin7, Gmin7 then the user would have to 
enter the third,5th, or seventh of each chord on each change. This could 
be timed also. This would require the user to enter in accidentals though.
