How many of the Control key combinations conventionally mapped on American keyboards to the lower ASCII codes are actually available in Finale for use with metatools? I count 14 of the 31 that are already in use. You're left with using multiple shift keys and checking scan codes and shift masks (because there's no ASCII mapping for those multiple shift key combinations), and translating the whole thing for various international keyboard maps. Johannes has pointed out elsewhere that the latter is already problematic in Finale today. The suggestion is simply not practical using ASCII codes, and that was why I was having such a difficult time understanding the assertion that there were all the free keys available. And, in any event, only A-Z (upper case) and @[\]^_ are available for mapping. The numeric keys and the lower-case keystrokes are not available in the first place, even if the keystroke combinations in the conventional keyboard mapping of control combinations to the ASCII control codes were not already in use for other things. -- David W.
