Well, I'm still on FinWin2K3, so I don't think I have the New Improved Simple Entry available to me. > The MM guys I see every year at the Jazz Educator's Convention use > Simple entry with a MIDI Keyboard, and that allows articulations and > dynamics to be entered on the same pass with the same tool.

Note entry is blazingly quick with a MIDI keyboard in Speedy. Even if I did it in the new Simple, I still wouldn't put in the articulations/expressions in the same pass, because that would require breaking the rhythm of entering the notes/rhythms (even if there are mouseless keyboard shortcuts mapped for articulations/expressions, which I strongly doubt). -- David W.
