Or better (IMHO): an interface that works the way lily works. That is the note is asumed to be the closed to the previous one. So instead of: CDEF | GABc | c2G2 | c2C2 | c2c2 | you do: Cdef | gabc | c2g2 | c2c,2 | c'2c2 | With the first "C" defining the exact octave you wanna start in and "c," meaning "go an octave down" and "c'" is "go an octave up". Since jumps over a 4th are not so common, this reduces the use of octaving indications + when you have to do it it's most often either ' or , unless you wanna jump over an 11th...
