I think he ment the key strokes not the ASCII that comes out. But if it's for fast typing only, what do you think about a key mapping like this: the keybord (e.g. german) Q--W--E--R--T--Z--U--I--O--P --A--S--D--F--G--H--J--K--L- ----Y--X--C--V--B--N--M--;-- means: B#-C#-D#-E#-F#-G#-A#-B#-c#-d# --C--D--E--F--G--A--B--c--d-- ----Db-Eb-Fb-Gb-Ab-Bb-cb-db-- and produces in ABC: ^B ^C ... ^d C D ... d _D _E ... _d You could use shift- or hold-shift to switch to an other octave. Then the tool should choose upcase and lowcase and add the ' or , automatically. Or you could define to start with an other note. A shortcut would be good to switch into this mode and back.
