I use the forward arrow as I'm touch-typing, right hand on the numeric/arrow/control blocks and left hand on the right side of the standard keyboard (starting at the 9-O-L column). I usually exit the frame to clear this bug. What keystroke rechecks? >Pretty sad that the bug >was never fixed. I sometimes get the impression that speedy Qwerty >entry doesn't get much attention. Man, speedy is so fast for me, especially when composing. My autorepeat is set to the fastest Windows allows (never fast enough for my taste), so I know exactly how long to hold the up/down arrows to move the cursor multiple positions. >(Far more annoying is the fact that >the "enter" key does not act on the previous entry when the cursor is >at the end of a frame, as just about every other Speedy key does.

Yes, I noticed that, but I tend to enter the additional notes after the basic notes/rhythms of the measure are already filled in. Maybe I got into that habit because of the behavior you mention ... it's been a long time, and speedy was my default entry method when I started with Finale in version 2.2 (I've never used simple or a Midi keyboard).
