Oh, dear. I was going to add that the nice soundsfromsounds video guide also failed to draw attention the the "All sharps" or "All flats" limitation. It presumably means that a piece with F-sharp and B-flat in it would require you to stop off and click on a button when they alternated. A better enharmonic range (if it must be fixed) would be E-flat to G-sharp. But I'm sure William could make the range selectable as in Denemo. Trickier for Frescobaldi might be to draw attention to enharmonic mistakes A-flat for G-sharp etc. Denemo plays augmented or diminished intervals on a different channel as you enter music so you can easily hear E, A-flat, B-natural when E, G-sharp, B-natural was intended. Since introducing that feature several years ago I have never had an enharmonic error in my music. > (no more > commits in the repository since October 1 and submitted trivial patches > get dropped on the floor), it would be worthwhile to make Frescobaldi > decide "chord-or-not" based on the overlap in duration. I think you could be right - I have so little need for chord entry that it has been rather neglected.
