I have a very old and simple MIDI keyboard, which doesn't have any way
of transposing the keys. For that it would indeed be very helpful if
Finale had such a switch built in.
However, it is more important to me that Speedy gets a major overhaul,
the transposition switch is secondary.
Here is what I hope for (more suggestions welcome!):
- The ability to access clef changes from within Speedy
- The ability to access articulations from within Speedy (like in Simple)
- smart handling of enharmonics. Ie, if I enter a d#, then change it to
e flat, then enter another one of those, it is likely to be an e flat
rather than a d#. All it needs is an adaptive enharmonics map that
changes as I change enharmonics while entering. This would be a real
time saver.
- smart handling of accidentals for non-MIDI entry: in C major if I
enter a F#, then the next one should be F#, not natural, until I tell it
to be a natural again. The same for ties.
- Customizable Speedy keymap: this is long overdue for non-American
keyboards. Why does Simple have this and Speedy doesn't? I am pretty
sure more power-users use Speedy than Simple.
Don't tell me I could use Simple with Midi, I know that, but it's not
working well.
