I have to correct enharmonics in the music I enter via MIDI, yes, of course. Is it slower to enter via MIDI and correct the enharmonics on a second pass than doing it all at once with the computer keyboard?

The two passes are faster than one pass with the computer keyboard. I've done it. For 6 years I had no MIDI keyboard, so I know that the MIDI keyboard is *much* faster for me. And entry by computer keyboard still takes other passes for entering articulations and expressions, so it's not like there's much of a difference there. -- David W.
