I've been thinking a little bit about all this. It seems to me that setting Gregorian Chant is quite different from the sort of thing that people often want to do with regular notation. In regular notation a score can often comprise thousands of individual bars (for all the parts, movements etc) and a bug like that would be critical. But for Gregorian Chant it is only ever going to be a relatively short piece of music. So such a bug could be worked around with some markup and not be a killer. That consideration also means getting the most efficient method of inputting stuff is not so crucial. Something easy to pick up for an occasional task would be better than something that is only efficient once you have learnt a set of shortcuts etc. I noticed that once I inserted the flexa pair of notes from the snippet putting the cursor on the first note and typing the note names added the pitches, so this could be a technique even for those without MIDI keyboard. For chant it would be good to have a command to add the pitch and move left for this - like the MIDI keyboard input does. The standard a, b, c ... shortcuts could do this, and a Quit button in the Gregorian Palette could reload the standard meaning for those shortcuts. Perhaps you could design the way that input could be done to be easy to pick up and use, and give reasonable feedback in the Display?
