And BTW: f and s work for flat and sharp in Speedy w/out MIDI kbd. (NOT capital F or capital S, though) They even work retroactively. That is, if you have the speedy frame set to advance to the next measure, Finale is smart enough to put the flat or sharp on the last note of the previous measure...just don't enter any notes in the "new" measure before hitting f or s. Same for a tie...works retroactively.

NOT NECESSARY. I just entered 75+ or so pages with my notebook computer using speedy and no MIDI kbd. There is NO need to "pre-enter rests." Just slide the entry cursor up or down to the desired note and hit the REGULAR NUMBER for the duration. NO NEED for separate numeric keypad. NO NEED for fn-alt-ctrl-shift ANYTHING. And I can do it speedily. Perhaps not as quickly as other techniques, but fast enough to suit me, and I can do it in the car if someone else is driving. ;-)
